Ashwini Charitable Trust (ACT) a non governmental organization educates and empowers underprivileged children from urban slums in Bangalore. Our mission is not only to sponsor children’s education but also support them till they are gainfully employed. ACT is a growing organisation in every way: we began in 2000 with 9 children and now have 120 children with us as of 2009-2010. 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.
