India Sponsorship Committee is a registered and recognised non-profit organisation established in 1967, when child sponsorship was a nascent concept in India. The mission of ISC is to provide children in need the support required by them for an education that offers them opportunities that develop their full potential. Further, it seeks to create opportunities for children to become responsible, contributing members of society by helping them meet their family, social, emotional, physical and spiritual needs.
Our primary goal is to facilitate holistic growth of underprivileged children in an environment that’s safe, nurturing, and supportive of their skills and talents to make them independent and contributing members of society. The manifestation of this philosophy is evident through four programs, currently working for communities in Lonavala and Pune.
Balgram – A children’s village that provides family-based care to nurture personal relationships, educational betterment, and skill development.

Aakar – A program for building 21st century life skills and attitudes through guided interventions for gender equality and safety.

Antar Bharti Balgram School – Programs for formal, informal, and vocational learning to make education the transformative tool to reduce dropout rates and eradicate poverty.

Saksham – An empowerment program designed to mentor young women into becoming financially independent role models for the next generation.

Sarathi – Quality Settlement program for all ISC children aiding their career progression to attain financial independence.
