Kinship for Humanitarian Social and Holistic Intervention in India (KHUSHII) was set up by cricketing icon, Kapil Dev, in 2003, to help children transform their lives through education. That’s why KHUSHII works across at a national level to ensure that children complete their schooling. Additionally, we help them stay healthy and empower their families economically, so children can stay focused on learning.
8.1 million children need help to stay in school. These are the children whom education has passed by. These are the children whom we dream will, one day, all have access to schooling. Are these numbers daunting? Yes, perhaps. Yet, to us, transforming these numbers is what drives us each morning. KHUSHII works tirelessly to keep children in school, through holistic interventions that impact the community. In just 17 years, KHUSHII has transformed the lives of over 1.5 million women and children.
From the day that we started KHUSHII, in 2003, I had a vision of a prosperous India in my mind and my heart, with education being the torch. It is education, that acts as the brightest star and a guiding light in all our lives, throughout especially for those, who are lesser privileged than us.
