Lotus Outreach is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headquartered in California, dedicated to ensuring the education, health and safety of vulnerable children.

Lotus Outreach was initially incorporated as a secular, non-profit organization in the United States to increase support for established educational programs operating in refugee communities in India. Since then, Lotus Outreach has expanded both the reach and scope of our work. While expanding access to education remains a top priority, we are also tackling grittier issues such as preventing the sexual exploitation of children and rehabilitating survivors of human trafficking. Our programs are made possible by generous supporters, dedicated volunteers, and by virtue of the talented partners we work with in the field.

What We Do

Lotus Outreach supports the development of effective grassroots projects in vulnerable communities. We aim to build the capacity and sustainability of our local project partners and aspire to raise awareness in our home countries of the problems presented by poverty throughout Asia. Our mission is pursued on several fronts:

• We promote and provide education for children previously denied this right due to extreme poverty or discrimination
• We provide basic healthcare where it’s needed most
• We provide trauma counseling, education and training to children and young women rescued from human trafficking and sexual slavery
• We advocate for social change through informational grass-roots programs
• We provide non-formal and alternative forms of education and basic job skills training
• work to identify and prevent the causes of trafficking and sexual slavery through outreach work, public education campaigns and advocacy
