Since 2005, Partners India has brought love and compassion to the most vulnerable and destitute.

A message from the Founders:

Amid rising challenges, HOPE is transforming communities, and these are exciting times. Decades of hard work and selfless sacrifice by India’s indigenous leaders are beginning to yield results.

India is now the most populous nation, with 1.4 billion people. Half of its population is under the age of 25, and 80% of them are growing up in the most remote, rural villages with little access to education and life skills. With this critical timing in mind, we are responding to those in urgent need and desperate for HOPE.

“India's ability to seize the opportunities available to our young population will depend on the success of its efforts to address the key challenges plaguing Indian education and vocational training. If we succeed, we ensure the prosperity of our own people and become the workhorse of the world. If we fail, our demographic dividend risks become a demographic disaster since unemployed, frustrated, and unemployable young men become prey to the blandishments of extremists and fanatics, as we have already seen in several insurgencies, particularly in our educationally under-served tribal areas.” - Dr. Shashi Tharoor – Member of Parliament/ Former UN Under Secretary.

Since 2005, Partners India has brought love and compassion to India's most vulnerable and hopeless by equipping and empowering leaders and transforming communities.
