Empowering Children Through Education, Mentorship and Care

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMMES

Project Butterflies is a testament to resilience and hope, designed to support children who have lost one or both parents. The initiative aims to safeguard their right to education and emotional well-being, ensuring that adversity does not deter them from achieving their dreams.

With valuable support from Glen Appliances Pvt. Ltd., Project Butterflies provides comprehensive scholarship support to children from low and middle-income families across regions in India. In 2024–25, the programme ensured academic continuation for 101 children, across seven states in Delhi, Haryana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.

Along with the financial aid, the initiative offers emotional mentoring, hand holding and personality development support. It builds a safe, caring space, encourages consistent schooling, and equips children with skills and confidence to shape their futures.

Case Study

Palak’s Journey of Resilience and Triumph

Palak, a 14 year old committed girl who was born into a family facing severe hardships, endured a profound personal loss with the passing of her father in 2021. Her mother, Ms. Sadhana Singh, became the sole earner and constant source of strength, encouraging Palak to pursue her dreams. In 2022, Palak enlisted for the project and was extended scholarship which enabled her to pursue her education. With renewed hope and consistent support, she navigated emotional and financial challenges with resilience. Despite the hardships, she remained focused on her academics and consistently performed well in her studies. Palak’s dedication and hard work ensured her academic performance didn’t get compromised at any moment. A defining moment came on September 3, 2024, when she secured the silver medal at the District-Level Archery Competition held at Tau Devi Lal Stadium in Sohna. This remarkable achievement not only highlighted her athletic talent but also symbolized her courage, resilience, and determination to rise above life’s adversities.

Palak’s journey is a testament to the power of support, resilience, and determination,
inspiring young girls to dream big and overcome challenges with courage.
