ABOUT US
The Mukti Story
At Mukti Volunteer Village, we're on a mission to set kids free through education. Imagine breaking the chains of poverty with the power of learning!
Since 2013, our dedicated team of volunteers, donors, and teachers has been transforming the lives of children from underprivileged backgrounds. We believe that education is the ultimate game-changer, giving these kids the tools to read, write, and break free from the cycle of poverty.
By donating, you're not just giving money; you're investing in a child's future. Your support helps us provide a holistic education that empowers these kids with confidence, opening doors to respectful jobs and sustainable livelihoods. Let's join hands to break barriers and build a future where every child can thrive independently. Donate now and be a part of the freedom revolution!
