YuvaLok Foundation

Welcome to YuvaLok Foundation, where compassion meets commitment, and dreams take flight. Our journey began with a singular vision—to create a brighter, more equitable future for the diverse tapestry of India. YuvaLok Foundation took birth in 1991 from a collective desire to address the multifaceted challenges faced by our nation, with a primary focus on underprivileged child education and nutrition, women’s skill training and empowerment, and comprehensive farming support for our hard working farmers.

OUR VISION

At YuvaLok Foundation, our vision is to transform the lives of underprivileged children and young people through compassionate and holistic interventions. We believe in providing more than just education – we offer comprehensive care, focusing on physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. Our mission extends to developing vocational skills, empowering the youth with practical training and mentorship for sustainable livelihoods. In short, we’re investing in a brighter future where every child and young person has the tools to thrive and contribute meaningfully to society. By investing in the lives of underprivileged children and young people in this comprehensive manner, we aspire to create a ripple effect of positive change that extends far beyond the individual, impacting families, communities, and ultimately, the nation at large.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to empower every child and young person, enabling them to reach their utmost potential and lead lives filled with dignity, hope, and compassion. We are dedicated to providing the necessary support and resources, fostering an environment where each individual can flourish.

Stories of Change

Army of Daughters

The United Nation states that an estimated 2,000 female fetuses are illegally aborted every day in India. Komala, an Alumna of YuvaLok High School, has a dream to eradicate this social evil because she has eight sisters in her family. Komala, who is now pursuing her 2nd PUC was born in Bengaluru to Nepali immigrants. Her parents were never opposed to having daughters despite having a backlash from their relatives. However, when the numbers grew to nine girls, they were unclear as how to move forward. Komala's father who used to work as a security guard before the pandemic says he had no option but to get his first four daughters married off due to poor financial conditions.

REBUILDING HOPE, Kannur, Bengaluru

The pandemic forced kids to stay indoors. In the absence of students, YuvaLok Foundation turned things around at Kannur. The school was remodelled and brought in a fresh look to the building. Walls were restructured, painted and a full renovation was undertaken.

Meanwhile YuvaLok continued to donate dry ration kits to the parents of YuvaLok Kindergarten. This was of great help to the parents who used the ration kits to run their homes during the entire period of the lockdown. The teachers at YuvaLok Kindergarten were constantly in touch with the parents about the progress of their little ones.

WOMEN LOOK TO YOUTUBE FOR TAILORING LESSONS

Learning has gone digital and the women of 'Threads of Life' at YuvaLok Foundation are not behind. The girls at TOL have now incorporated YouTube into their learning module and are designing gowns beyond their capabilities.
This year has been exciting for the women as they took to YouTube to enhance their learning. Program head Divya says that the management had previously installed computers for the girls to learn from the internet. "The facilities were always there. This year, the girls took special interest in trying different designs. Hence, they started looking up on YouTube and things took off from there" she said. With YouTube entering the scene, the girls this year added some really cool designs to their kitty.
