The Cycle of Poverty
Over 100 million children in India live in extreme poverty. This represents 1/3 of all poverty-stricken children in the world. Born into a cycle of injustice and social discrimination, these children live with very few choices. Girls especially are at-risk of sex trafficking, forced child labor and adolescent marriage.
This must change.
Bloom exists to educate minds and empower lives of underprivileged children in India to break the cycle of poverty, injustice, and social discrimination.
Our History
Over the past decade, Dennis Mathew and his team have raised awareness and funds to rescue women and children from sex trafficking and slavery in India. They realized that education is critical to breaking the cycle of poverty and launched Bloom India in 2019, with the passion to establish ten schools in 10 years.
We began by partnering with a school in Bangalore, providing tuition-free education to over 400 local children. Today, Bloom India provides high-quality education to over 2,000 students! We provide high-quality education to our Bloom Mercy School and 2 STEM centers, which focus on hands-on learning in science, math, English, and technology. We also provide scholarships to students to attend Pre-University and University. Many of our students are pursuing careers in the medical field, accounting, social work, and other disciplines.
We also focus on providing holistic care for our students - transportation, healthy meals, medical care, uniforms and school supplies, and scholarships for higher learning. At Bloom India, we are committed to educating minds and empowering lives.
