about ramana's garden
Ramana’s Garden is a children’s home and school on the banks of the Ganga in Rishikesh, India that offers free education to over 200 students who are below the poverty line and houses over 70 students that don't have families. Ramana's Garden is firmly dedicated to abolishing the caste system and offers sanctuary to children regardless of religion, caste or creed.
Clean water is difficult to access in India. Right now, Ramana’s Garden receives an inconsistent supply of water from the government. When it is available, it is neither clean nor potable. The government-supplied water is prone to cause illnesses and is not drinkable.
The children of Ramana's Garden need permanent, sustainable access to clean, potable water.
