Vipla Foundation

Vipla Foundation (Legal entity registered as Save The Children India) is on a mission to ensure that nothing stops children of India from Learning, Growing and Flourishing. The organisation has its community interventions based on pillars of Early Interventions and System Strengthening. It recognises that early interventions are critical in improving the quality of lives of our programme participants particularly those who come from marginalised and excluded communities. On the other hand it values engaging and collaborating with systems for impact at scale and sustainability. Vipla foundation continues to train, capacitate systemic stakeholders and policy advocates for internalising and institutionalising the best practises.

The programme participants are largely children and women from communities experiencing intergeneration poverty due to meagre or limited access to education, livelihood and entitlements. Vipla Foundation recognises intersectionalites that operate and impacts access of services and resources for people on the basis of gender, caste, class and economic strata of society that makes these families and communities difficult to break the cycle of poverty, exploitation and marginalisation for generations.
Vipla Foundation works primarily with children of all ages through Early Childhood Care & Education, Prevention, Early Intervention & education of children with disabilities and helping children attain their learning level competencies. The organisation also works with women and girls from most vulnerable communities and those who are victims of sexual violence including sex trafficking and provides them with opportunities of education, employability, entrepreneurship, quality institutional care, safe return & repatriation and access to justice.
