Location of our Projects
We are in North East India, in Amwan Village, near Bodhgaya belonging to the state of Bihar, one of the poorest states of the entire country with the highest rate of iliteracy and the lowest rate of income per capita
We work in a rural area where the dwellings are made of mud and have no running water or electricity. Access to these villages is complicated as there are no asphalt roads and in the Monsoon Season the paths are often submerged under water. This all makes it even harder for the children to go to schools, health centres, etc. and so they are left unassisted in absolute poverty. This is where we put into practice our projects.
From our central office in Spain, situated in San Lorenzo de El Escorial (Madrid), we collect the funds to be able to carry out our projects.

Objectives and Ethics
Our objective is to promote the development of the most disadvantaged rural communities in India, especially underpriviliged communities, for that reason we work in the eradication of extreme poverty and the creation of a more equitable society, listening to the needs of the population in the first person .
Ethics, wisdom, responsibility or altruism are values of the Universal Educationprogram, which go in our DNA, as well as respect for different traditions, cultures and religions, as long as they are not contrary to human rights. Our goal is to educate for a life with meaning, to develop the potential of the person to achieve happiness and personal excellence, and contribute from them to the welfare of others, to a better society and a more harmonious world.
We support the programs that the Indian Government has implemented for the development of the most disadvantaged community of the Dalits or “untouchables” and we inform how they can benefit from it to receive the benefits.
