Education is a powerful tool for change.
The Taraloka Foundation believes that access to education
can transform a girl's life and ripple through generations.
We fund education from kindergarten through college for young women in Sikkim, India and operate the Sikkim Happiness Home, a safe refuge offering meals, healthcare, community mentorship, and unwavering support.
Our mission is to empower each young woman to chart her own path and inspire positive change in her community and culture.

Meet Our Graduates
When our girls leave their village and enter the home, they are often unaware of the true gift of education. They graduate college as well-educated and independent young women inspired to change their community.

"Becoming a Scientist is quite not easy as I thought, but I'm always grateful to my sponsor and Taraloka for making this dream come true. I hope one day I'll be able to support someone like me who is not so privileged."

Making a Meaningful Difference
Larger organizations often have significant administrative costs and struggle to make donors aware of the real impact of their donation.
Taraloka works on a small scale that minimizes administrative expenses while maintaining a high quality of care for the girls and young women in the Sikkim Happiness Home. Whether you are a donor or a sponsor, you will know the impact of your kindness.
