Grow Blossom Projects

This July we are excited to launch "Blossom", our new hostel at Lokuttara Leadership Academy in Kerala. Blossom is a residence for girls who have dropped out of school. 5 girls will live at Blossom for 10 months, studying Communicative English, Master Student Skills,  and Computer Basics. Our curriculum incorporates public speaking training, the arts, movement and meditation, in an environment where every student excels. Blossom is a sister to Lokuttara's Boys' Hostel, and girls and boys will study together at the Academy during the day, encouraging one another and collaborating in an environment of mutual respect. After school, the girls will live together as a household, supervised by a Warden. $10,000 is needed to open Blossom this Summer and to run it for 10 months. Once it is off the ground, we will extend the program to more students.  Our girls are from some of the most oppressed communities in India, and they have asked us to create this hostel, for their academic success and for a brighter future. An investment in the education of girls is an investment in the quality of life for a whole community. Join us in growing Blossom! Thank you.
