The purpose

Celebrating infinite possibilities in every child

Every child is an embodiment of limitless talent and a beacon of hope. Eyes blazing with dreams and hearts brimming with a spirit of adventure, all that children need are opportunities to rise above their constraints and achieve the impossible. We are inspired by the unyielding spirit and determination of children to aspire and thrive, despite challenging circumstances.

Established in 2003, Makkala Jagriti is dedicated to empowering children and youth from marginalized communities by providing access to quality education and holistic development opportunities. Our mission is to break the barriers imposed by socioeconomic challenges, enabling every child to learn, grow and succeed, and enable children and youth to propel themselves to a brighter future.
