A Home for Learning in the Hills of Tehri
Sondhar Charitable Trust provides free education, boarding, and family-like care to underprivileged children from nearby and distant villages of Uttarakhand.
Here, children are not just taught. They are loved, guided, listened to, and raised with dignity.
Currently nurturing 46 children through education, boarding, and holistic care.
Education With Care
We support children across age groups through nearby schools, on-campus learning, mentoring, and tailored academic support.
A Family, Not a Facility
Every child receives personal attention, emotional support, daily care, and the sense of belonging every child deserves.
Reviving Village Life
Alongside education, we are working to revive agriculture in Sondhar and build a future for heritage, tourism, and reverse migration.

From Our Home
Why Sondhar Charitable Trust Exists
Many children grow up facing distance, uncertainty, and loss of opportunity. Some have lost one or both parents. Some come from homes where care exists, but resources do not.
Sondhar Charitable Trust was built to become a second home for such children — a place where education is practical, personal, and rooted in love.
How We Raise and Educate Children
Our approach combines formal schooling, personal mentoring, emotional care, and a stable home — because children learn best when they feel safe and known.
Personal Attention
Each child is known closely — their strengths, fears, habits, learning gaps, and dreams.
School + Home Learning
Most children attend nearby schools, while the Trust provides daily study support, tutoring, and life guidance.
Emotional Security
We focus on affection, stability, listening, and care — the things that allow a child to truly learn.
Practical Upbringing
Children grow through routines, responsibility, nature, local culture, farming, play, and community life.

Why We Say "Family," Not Hostel
The words we choose reflect the kind of care we are committed to. At Sondhar, we do not run a hostel. We raise children as family.
