Ashwini Charitable Trust

Ashwini Charitable Trust fondly referred to as “ACT” by all the people who run it – Trustees, Volunteers and Sponsors - is a Non Governmental Organization that was started in the year by a group of women to educate and empower underprivileged children of Ulsoor slums in Bangalore. After 18 years it is still run by women with more than 300 dedicated volunteers per week supporting them. The Trust was registered in 15th December in Bangalore, and named after the first child it sponsored- ASHWINI. Our logo has the foot print of a little child to symbolize that all our giant leaps start off with small steps. We also hope that every child’s hesitant step in the initial years metamorphose into confident strides in life. ACT is a growing organisation in every way: we began in 1st April with 9 children and now have 360 children with us as of 2017- 2018. When we began, education meant paying the children's fees and helping them improve their study skills. Now, the education that every child at ACT gets is an all round development programme that ensures every child's physical, mental and emotional wellness. Thousands of children are dreaming. A small step by you can be a giant leap for many children. Take this step. And help someone take their next. Please contact us for further information about sponsoring and volunteering.
