About PASALA Foundation
Building a brighter future for rural communities through compassion, action, and sustainable change.
Who We Are
PASALA Foundation was established in 2010 with a singular vision: to break the cycle of poverty in rural India by empowering individuals and communities with the tools they need to thrive.
What began as a small initiative to support local schools has grown into a comprehensive development organization serving over 85 villages across multiple districts. Our name "PASALA" reflects our roots — a village that became the foundation of our mission.
Today, with support from donors in the United States and corporate partners worldwide, we continue to expand our reach and deepen our impact.
