Shanti Bhavan Children’s Project
Shanti Bhavan (“haven of peace” in Hindi) is an Indian 80-G and U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Bangalore, India. The organization runs a pre-K-12 residential school in Baliganapalli, Tamil Nadu. The school enrolls 12 girls and 12 boys (at age 4) each year for its entry-level preschool class. From then on, students are in school throughout the year, except during the summer and winter holidays.
Students go to Shanti Bhavan at no cost and are given nutritious foods, shelter, education, medical care, clothing, and emotional and mental support.
The organization is accredited by one of the strongest academic curricula in India, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), and conducts the ICSE and ISC exams for students in grades 10 and 12. After 12th grade, Shanti Bhavan also covers their university education.
As a non-profit organization, the main barrier organizations face is securing sustained and long-term funding. Donorbox has been able to meet their needs and has raised more than $1.44 million through the Shanti Bhavan Children’s Project.
In addition, with the great features that come with the software, Donorbox also connects them with new sponsors to achieve fundraising goals.
