Who We Are & What We Do

Happy Triangle Foundation was founded in August 2016 to create a space for educational growth and thinking together. The foundation works in three key areas: Education, Health, and Community Development.

It began with workshops on critical thinking, gender, and climate change, and also included skills workshops with working women, and health awareness programs. Our goal is to facilitate spaces for new thought in economically and socially vulnerable children and women.

Our Vision

Our Values

Compassion

We believe community support starts with care for each individual.

Anti Discrimination

We believe an evolved society should hold no place for the multi-dimensional discriminations of caste, gender, religion, and similar factors.
