We reach out,and we stay.

ROHAN Trust is a small group working alongside families in rural India. We help where it's needed now, speak up where it isn't heard, and stick around long after.

What the name stands for

Reaching Out to Help, Advocate and Nurture. Each part of the name describes one part of how we work with the families we meet.

  1. Reaching out

    We go to the people who need us, rather than waiting for them to find us.

  2. to Help

    Practical support, like schooling, food and health, that changes the day in front of someone.

  3. Advocate

    Speaking up with schools, panchayats and local offices when a family can't get through alone.

  4. and Nurture

    Staying in touch over years, not months. Help that stops after one year doesn't really help.

Where we are so far

We're small and just getting started. Here's all of it.

15 children enrolled in school this year. One figure for each of them.

₹3.5L
raised in all, almost entirely from people who know us.
₹2.5L
already with families and schools. The rest is on its way.

Support a child

About ₹1,500 a month keeps one child going.

Choose how long you'd like to help. It goes straight to the kids.

Payments go through UPI, so GPay, PhonePe, Paytm or any other app works. Some banks cap how much you can send to a new UPI contact in one go, so for bigger amounts write to us and we'll share bank details.

India is not the Government. Patriotism is not obedience. And dissent is not disloyalty.
