Pledged to empower a better future and spread as many smiles as possible, the Tricity-based NGO, Kanya Welfare Organization took to action in the early 2000s and has since been striving to achieve its mission with as much gusto and enthusiasm as it began with, if not more.
Education is a fundamental right. Kanya identifies its vision to be rooted in this very powerful tool for the development and emancipation of any society.
Our vision is to transform society in a way where every child is educated, respected, and heard, by providing the financial resources required for the overall development of every child, through education.
Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” So when Kanya was founded in 2004 under the wings of the Kapsons Group, the goal was to embody change in all aspects of the world by empowering the future.
And how do you empower the future leaders?
“We believe education to be the greatest tool of emancipation and empowerment that can be bestowed on the youth for a bright future. With every event, Kanya strives towards a society where every child is educated, respected, and heard,” says Nishi Kapoor, Founder of the Tricity-based NGO.
Kanya Girl Child Welfare Organization has been committed to standing and working for the children’s overall empowerment, be that in Education, Health and nutrition, or Safety, for the past 19 years.
With 34 new enrollments in 2023, Kanya now stands strong with a clan of over 91 kids under its wings.
Donate NowBeing the most powerful pillar in the foundation for a bright future, we believe Education to be the solution for ridding society of all social evils stemming from illiteracy and outmoded notions. Kanya Welfare Organization works every day to help children acquire foundational literacy, life skills, and socio-emotional skills.
Working to achieve the mission of uplifting the mind, we also acknowledge the importance of keeping one’s health in check by ensuring food security and balanced nutrition. Kanya delivers dozens of purposeful health and nutrition workshops to enable school-age children to overcome the effects of malnutrition
A child’s safety is vital to their development. Every child has the right to live free from violence and abuse. Through our work, we want to empower, uplift, and protect children from different forms of abuse and harm, including child labor, and all forms of exploitation, be it physical, emotional, or sexual.
