A gift when it is given from the heart to the right person, at the right time and at the right place, when we expect nothing in return

About Us

Jharkhand Step-Up Trust, a registered NGO under Reg. No. 650/2004, was established in 2004 with a resolute commitment to alleviate the hardships faced by impoverished communities in Jharkhand. Our multifaceted approach aims to address the root causes of poverty by focusing on education, health, eradicating child labor, and promoting women's empowerment. In the realm of education, we strive to break the cycle of poverty by providing access to quality learning opportunities. Our initiatives include educational support, skill development programs, and vocational training to empower individuals with the tools necessary for a brighter future. Healthcare is a cornerstone of our efforts, targeting marginalized communities with much-needed medical assistance. We believe in holistic well-being, emphasizing preventive care and access to healthcare services. Our unwavering commitment extends to eradicating child labor, ensuring that every child has the right to a childhood free from exploitation. Through awareness campaigns and direct intervention, we aim to rescue and rehabilitate children facing labor-related challenges. Women's empowerment lies at the heart of our mission. We work to uplift women by providing education, skill-building opportunities, and support for those facing domestic violence or returning from incarceration. Over the years, Jharkhand Step-Up Trust has made a significant impact on the lives of those we serve. We invite you to join hands with us in this journey towards sustainable change, creating a future where poverty is replaced by prosperity, and every individual has the opportunity to thrive.
