The Kusuma Trust is a charitable trust dedicated to CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
Our geographical focus and main area of work is India and Gibraltar where Kusuma would like to make a difference and change lives for the better. We therefore fund a broad range of visionary charitable and philanthropic projects which have a direct and positive impact on the people we are trying to help.
Kusuma works alongside academic institutions, NGOs and governments to achieve its goals and avoid duplication of its efforts.
Still very much in its infancy, Kusuma is addressing a wide number of issues concerning education and children at risk with the intention of narrowing our focus in a few years time. At that point we intend to direct funding to fewer initiatives proven to have the most dramatic impact on society as a whole.
Our key focus areas are:
-
At Risk Children:
- Education:
- Community:
- Internet:
We want to improve the lives of disadvantaged children by funding projects which will provide them with education, financial support, healthcare, encouragement and in some cases, shelter and safety. We are currently focusing our attention on street children, orphans, children in distress and children with disabilities.
We believe every child has the right to a formal education. For us learning is the key to ensuring our society continues to grow and flourish.
Prescribing to the belief charity begins at home, Kusuma, has gone to great lengths to support and improve the constituencies we operate out of. As such we fund a broad number of community-based charities located in Gibraltar, the home of our founders, and Hyderabad.
The internet is a global phenomenon and closely associated with our founders. We believe internet is a mirror of our society and has upside as well as downside. We intend to support projects to keep the medium as open as possible but at the same time realizing and curtailing the downside effects.
