Ujjwala Foundation — Igniting Hope. Transforming Lives.

Layer 02 — Opportunity

The next change is waiting to be funded.

Our first six programs were funded by our own trustees, so that nobody had to take our word for whether we could deliver. These are the programs we are building next — larger, deeper, designed to be funded by people outside the founding circle.

WomenNext round

Know your worth. Know your money. Know your power.

Don't just give her support. Give her capability.

05 Women

Health, Water & SanitationNext round

When illness comes, don't let poverty come with it.

One illness should never wipe out a family's years of sacrifice.

01 Health, Water & Sanitation

Women & GirlsNext round

Give her the freedom to choose her future.

A girl's future should be bigger than the circumstances she was born into.

05 Women

YouthIn design

Open the next door.

Most young people here are not short of ability. They are short of one door being opened.

04 Youth

LearningIn design

Be the person who says: "don't stop here."

Sometimes a student doesn't need someone to solve their whole life. They need one person to remove the obstacle in front of the next step.

02 Learning

WomenNext round

Teach her the language of money.

A woman should understand where her money comes from, where it goes and what it can become.

05 Women

YouthIn design

Sometimes all a young person needs is someone to show them the road.

Potential is wasted when nobody knows how to turn it into a plan.

04 Youth

LivelihoodNext round

Help a family build some breathing room.

Poverty is not only having less money. It is having no room when something goes wrong.

03 Livelihood

HealthNext round

A tribal household should not have to choose which child eats well.

Nutrition is the cheapest medicine we have ever bought.

01 Health, Water & Sanitation

AgricultureIn design

Protect the next harvest. Protect the family behind it.

For a small farmer, one failed season can become a family's debt.

06 Agriculture

Health, Water & SanitationIn design

Make the first glass safe.

Something as ordinary as drinking water shapes a child's health, attendance and ability to learn.

01 Health, Water & Sanitation

AnimalsIn design

Protect the animal. Protect the livelihood.

For a rural family, an animal may be food, income, savings and security at the same time.

07 Animals

IntegratedIn design

Sponsor a village. Change what becomes possible.

A village doesn't need one good day. It needs years of coordinated decisions.

All seven objectives

CommunityIn design

Help a community be ready before the next crisis.

The week after a disaster is decided long before the disaster arrives.

All seven objectives

Why you will not see a progress bar here yet

Most fundraising pages open with a target. We would rather open with a plan. Every program on this page publishes the human problem, what we intend to do and what your support pays for. Targets, amounts raised and amounts remaining appear only once our trustees have approved a costed plan for that program — and then they appear in full, including what is still missing.
