What we do?
Happy Triangle Foundation was founded in 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 spaces 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.
