WHITE LOTUS CHARITABLE TRUST was founded in 1993 by Khyentse Norbu, a renowned Buddhist Teacher and Internationally acclaimed filmmaker.
Our Trust works toward and has been highly recognised for providing equal access to quality education for all India's children, especially the girl child. WLCT has represented the State of Haryana with National level linkages through NCPCR and RTE forum. WLT has led and continues to lead the way in providing access to education for girls at Mewat, one of the worst gender-equality wise districts in India.
Vision statement and principles
White Lotus is a grass roots level organisation that believes:
Education + Training + Care = Empowerment
This mission statement recognises that poverty is multi dimensional and multi pronged and cross cutting social development strategies are most effective.
We subscribe to the well-evidenced premise that social investments in women in girls provide the highest and quickest returns, especially where education and training is concerned.
We believe that social change takes time and community based programs require at least two to three, three year cycles to mature.
We believe in social justice and that all Indians, especially from remotely located, lower income communities, have the right to quality education and health services.
