Support us to help under privileged children, marginalised people, victims of domestic violence and rape and those in need of emergency relief.

Our Causes

Education & Scholarship

Education is a fundamental human right. Every girl and boy, everywhere, is entitled to attend school and learn” (UNICEF). Unfortunately, not every child is fortunate enough to make to schools. Embracing the UNICEF’s assertion, Punya Foundation extends support for the education of orphaned, poor and vulnerable children in developing countries through provision of scholarships.

Empowerment

Empowerment is defined differently. Cambridge dictionary defines empowerment as, “the process of gaining freedom and power to do what you want or to control what happens to you.” To work for the social justice and to reach the most vulnerable ones, the Foundation targets women victims of rape, sexual assault and domestic violence.

Health and Relief Programs

During natural disasters and calamities, Punya Foundation Inc. mobilises resources to help those in need. These are generally Foundation’s one time support programs. However, in the past such one time initiatives have led to long term projects. For instance, the Foundation’s involvement in the medical relief mission in Nepal during the destructive earthquakes of 2015 has resulted into a long term project to educate children who lost at least one of their parents until their grade ten level of education. The Foundation sets into relief mission as per need.

Public Relation and Publication

To promote language skills the Foundation organises literary activities. These are either in recitation or write up forums. These programs are targeted to promote creativity, to improve expression and broaden language skills. On a regular basis, Punya Foundation publishes its annual reports. These reports contain profiles of students receiving scholarships, challenges faced by the Foundation team and those by the implementing partners. Regularly, the Foundation redefines its strategies and embarks on priority setting for subsequent years.
