About Shanti Bhavan
Shanti Bhavan is a residential school exclusively for children born into India's lowest socioeconomic class located in Tamil Nadu, India. Those born into poverty remain entrapped in systems that perpetuate inequality due to a lack of social protection, access to quality education, and low wages. In fact, it would take seven generations for an individual born into a low-income family to reach a mean income. Shanti Bhavan breaks the cycle of poverty in a single generation.We measure our impact based on how our students perform multiple years after completing the Shanti Bhavan program. Shanti Bhavan boasts a 97% graduation rate, where 98% of our graduates complete college or university degrees across the United States, Europe, Canada, and Asia. Our alums work in finance, business, IT, media, communications, NGOs, engineering, medicine, and teaching in India, UAE, and Europe. Many pursue competitive careers at multinational firms.100% of our graduates and alums earn more in the first five years of their careers than their parents will in a lifetime and give between 20-60% of their salaries to their families, communities, and other children in need.
