What we do?

Happy Triangle Foundation was founded in August 2016 to create a space for educational growth and thinking together. It began with workshops on critical thinking, gender, and climate change, and also included skills workshops with women, and health awareness programs. Due to the coronavirus restrictions we have moved to food donation drives, and creating and delivering Happy Triangle (magazine). Our goal is to facilitate learning spaces, with economically and socially vulnerable children and women. We believe education is the path to move beyond the social evils of gender, colour, and caste based discrimination.

Our motto: Let’s Think Together

The name: is inspired by a Buddhist state of happiness that is joyful and tranquil, rather than an extreme. Change is the only constant, and can be represented by a triangle or ‘delta’, a greek symbol representative of change or difference.
