Sobre nosotros

Tara Trust is a registered non-profit organization, founded in 2008 in Goa, India, with the mission to empower, educate and enable the underprivileged, especially children and women, to improve their lives.

The Objective is to motivate children within the marginalized communities coming from conflict driven households, economically low backgrounds, or either orphaned or abandoned, to not only stay in school but to gain an understanding and appreciation of the importance of education. To develop a confidence within themselves to pursue a higher education and a sense of self-determination, enabling them to aspire for a better life.

Our Method of using creative engagement to encourage a child´s personal growth is driven by the belief that in following traditional forms of education alone we are neglecting an integral part of one´s self development. We conduct extensive art based and creative workshops along with numerous intercultural programs and activities, which supports the discovery of each child´s own abilities enabling them to reach their full potential.

Art Heals - With this motto in mind, Tara Trust endeavors to build confidence and motivation among the children participating in their workshops and programs, while exposing them to the world outside their comfort zone.
