Core Values

• Equality - Kusuma believes every person has a right to life, freedom and equal opportunities.
• Education access for all - education is the backbone of a thriving society and we believe a higher level of literacy is one of the most important driving forces of India’s social and economic development.
• Efficient use of resources – we want to help as many people as possible with the funds available and are committed to running our organization effectively. We expect similar commitment from of all our partners.
• The importance of sustainability - we aim at selecting projects with the potential of self-sufficiency and/or scalability in the future.
• Learning Organisation – Kusuma is a young organisation and committed to accumulating knowledge and finding the most effective method in carrying out our goals. This is reflected in our commitment to research and the development of even better solutions to the current problems facing India. We believe that this learning is key to the successful evolution of charity work as a whole.
