At present, almost one third of the total child population of India does not attend school. Vidya is a charitable trust (approved by the Charity Commissioners in 2001) which believes that education is the right of every child. To this end, The Vidya Trust is raising funds for the education and training of children from disadvantaged communities in India. Its intention is to work directly with non-governmental organisations to ensure better access to education for such children.

We are currently supporting projects at three different charities. One of these charities (Aseema) is based in Mumbai (Bombay); one (NAWA) is based in Tamil Nadu, a state in the southern part of India; and the third is based in Arunachal Pradesh in the east of India.
