Thank you for dancing with us

Your Dandiya night can become a child's classroom.

Thank you for joining us at our 15th Disco Dandia Dhamaal. Now help us turn the celebration into education for underprivileged children across India.

Donate Bihar brick-kiln initiative

For the past 20 years, Bay Area volunteers have been funding small, genuine grassroots organizations that educate underprivileged children across India. Every dollar donated is a dollar delivered: admin costs are covered separately, never from program funds.

Our 2026 big bet

Bihar's brick-kiln workers

Manual brick-kiln workers and their families are trapped in bonded labor, child labor and generational poverty. Because they migrate seasonally and lack documents, they are shut out of government welfare schemes.

Bal Kalyan Sangh brings schooling, welfare-scheme enrollment and family support to these children. It is one of our focus partners in 2026, centered on Bihar and Jharkhand:

Bal Kalyan Sangh: educating children of brick-kiln workers across 30 kilns in Sheikhpura, Bihar.
Pratigya: foundational literacy and numeracy in 20 government schools in Khunti, Jharkhand.
New partnerships: with Teach For India (TFIx) and UC Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy.

One generation of education changes everything.
