Gypsy communities
Nomadic families can face housing insecurity, social exclusion and limited access to education and services. Children may be especially vulnerable when caregivers must travel or work for daily wages.
A call to uplift the unreached
Every life deserves dignity.
Every community, a chance.
We work alongside underserved communities to expand access to education, care, health, and livelihood opportunities—building a future rooted in equity and shared progress.
Opportunity begins with care.Inclusive development for children, women and families.

Who we are
Working with communities. Creating lasting change.
Arise India Foundation was established and registered in 2015 with a vision to serve neglected and underserved communities. Field visits and direct engagement with Gypsy and Irular communities revealed barriers to education, healthcare, safe housing and social inclusion.
That experience shaped our commitment to inclusive development—supporting children, strengthening women's livelihoods and partnering with families to build greater opportunity and dignity.
