Sarvam Foundation focuses on overall growth for the true happiness and success of a child

At Sarvam, we focus on empowering young underprivileged girls from urban slums, whom we fondly call our Shaktis. Our mission is to provide them with a quality life, unlock their hidden potential, and foster self-worth through holistic education and ongoing parental support. Currently supporting 300+ girls across 3 states in India, we aim to empower them with the skills needed for meaningful employment, making them self-sufficient contributors to society. We focus primarily on giving them holistic education driven by values and self-care.

What is lacking in modern education is a focus on overall growth for the true happiness and success of a child. At Shakti, every girl from the age of 8 to 20, is educated to be physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally healthy to be a valuable member of society. The Shakti Way is a practical curriculum of holistic growth that is otherwise inaccessible for marginalized girl children.

We believe that everything in the universe is connected and works on vibrations. Aligned with our values and joy, each girl feels overjoyed and thus contributes to uplifting the energy of the world, and that is what Sarvam Shakti does. We enable girls to feel good about themselves, and their lives and they then inspire others to do the same. The curriculum is designed to raise the vibes of the Shakti tribe!

At Sarvam we skill them in Indian dance forms, Yoga, Health and Nutrition, Spoken English, and computers. Complex creative skills help in the growth of the mind & body in profound ways

While also being fun to learn for children. The Shaktis specialize in one skill and learn it with excellence should they wish to become professionals in it. However, the focus of learning is on exploring the beauty of the skill and educating oneself more creatively. The learning objective is to learn the skill to the best of one’s ability whilst thoroughly enjoying the process of study.
