Every child deserves room to dream.

Abhilasha Foundation is a Non Governmental/ Non profit Organization working to support children in the poor tribal regions of Jharkhand. It works using an "adopt a village" model, typically in villages where a significant number of adults leave daily to work either as daily-wage laborers or to collect forest-produce for their daily livelihood, leaving the very young or very old at home.

The Foundation felt that a significant impact would be made by helping the young children left at home channelise their energies into activities that would give them and importantly, their guardians, hope and confidence to develop into responsible teenagers and adults. It focuses in developing in them a desire to dream and achieve, to believe it is possible to get out of the cycle of poverty and grind which the community they live in suffers from. Thus much of our work revolves around providing basic education including developing mathematics, science and social knowledge along with reading/writing skills, rounded off by introducing them to art and craft.

The foundation also works extensively with the district administration to ensure that adequate government attention and follow-through on programs is focused on these villages, whether it is for healthcare support, drinking water provisioning or gram panchayat monitoring, all of which ultimately provide the right ecosystem for these children to develop.
