​Light of Life Trust (LOLT), aims at empowering the underprivileged sections of the society to take part in their very own wellbeing and providing opportunities to climb up the socio-economic ladder through its programs.  It invests in such communities by providing them the necessary, such as education, skill development, primary health services and other assistance.

Project Anando: LOLT is dedicated to uplifting underprivileged rural secondary school children by ensuring their continued education and equipping them with essential life skills. The program focuses on holistic development, going beyond literacy to foster the students' all-around growth using a 3E approach: Educate, Empower, and Equip for Employability. It ensures building capacity and quality to face up to withstand competition and develop leadership skills along with Involvement of parents, community and teachers in the child's growth and development. The Student Friendly Supplementary Education Programme (SFSEP) addresses the critical academic needs of these students, particularly in English and Mathematics, through daily classes that enhance their understanding and boost their academic performance. After completing their secondary education, the Anando Plus program supports students in making informed career choices, whether by pursuing higher education or engaging in vocational training, with the aim of fostering self-sufficiency and dignity.

Project Jagruti: It was initiated to advance, develop, and to empower the rural underprivileged communities to enhance employability and increase income generating opportunities thereby breaking the cycle of poverty through the following verticals:

  • Livelihood & Skill Development Programme: Providing Livelihood & Skill Development Training to enable rural women and unemployed adolescents to seek better employment opportunities, become entrepreneurs and attain financial independence.
  • Medical Mobile Units: Providing basic preventive healthcare and referral services to rural communities in remote villages and tribal hamlets where there is no access to medical facilities. Medical camps and awareness sessions are conducted to spread knowledge about health-related issues.
  • Environment Conservation Program: Distribution of fruit bearing saplings to farmers with the goal of increasing their income through enhanced yield and production.

The School Empowerment Programme enhances education in rural secondary schools by focusing on teacher training and community involvement. It equips teachers with modern techniques to improve classroom engagement and strengthens partnerships with parents and students. It emphasizes innovative teaching methods, student involvement, and better school management. This holistic approach aims to boost student performance, reduce dropout rates, and contribute to the broader development of the community.
