Summary

Sparsha Trust is a charitable organization started (registered) in 2005 by a group of motivated young people, who want to contribute to the betterment of society through education of children. At that time most of the team members of Sparsha Trust had just completed their Masters of Social Work, and they were moved by the government surveys data that had indicated that there were about 11 lakh (1.1million) children who were out of school in Karnataka. This was also the time of an economic expansion of Bangalore where IT and other industries had started to establish their activity and as a result, there was large scale migration people with diverse backgrounds into the city. The present team members of Sparsha Trust observed the condition of the needy children in Bangalore where they found hem to be involved in begging, rag-picking, child labor, child trafficking etc. They had started working for the cause of needy children. After a few months of working, they felt a need to give a formal structure to their activity and as a result, Sparsha Trust was born. The aim of the organization has been to ensure that children have access to education and not be denied of it because of conditions of deprivation / want etc. The Trust has been active in the field of children’s education through projects which have been commended and recognized as innovative and sustainable.
