One sunny afternoon during the lunch hour at Samarpan Trust, Courtney, lovingly called ‘Didi’ by the children, sat beside a young girl with bright, curious eyes who said - 

‘Didi, I want to become like you.’

Courtney smiled and asked, ‘But why like me?’

The child replied earnestly, ‘Someone with a big heart. If not for this place, I’d still be at home. I saw school for the first time because of you.’ 

Courtney's eyes softened as the words sank in, reminding her of Samarpan Trust's journey—a haven for underprivileged children in India. 

Educating these kids mean transforming a generation

Since its inception in 2010, Samarpan Trust has been rewriting the stories of countless young children who had been forgotten by society - victims of poverty, economic hardships, and social constraints. At the heart of this mission is a profound belief: every girl deserves a chance to dream.

Today, hundreds of children, who face bleak futures, are not only pursuing education but achieving dreams once thought unattainable.

Samarpan Trust is more than an institution; it’s a home, a family bonded by love and shared dreams. Here, the children participate in activities like yoga, meditation, and dance, breaking down barriers of difference. These children are no longer just surviving; they are thriving - because someone believed in them

Samarpan Trust does more than provide books and classrooms; it gives every kids deserves a chance to dream 

But the work is far from over. There are so many children waiting for a helping hand, a compassionate heart to guide them toward a brighter future. Samarpan Trust depends on the generosity of people who believe in this mission.

Courtney needs your support - whether through groceries, stationery, and hygiene products - to help sustain many more underprivileged children. Together, you can ensure that every child has the opportunity to dream, to grow, and to transform not just her life but generations to come.
