Kusala Projects Inc. develops and funds vocational and educational projects for impoverished families in the Bodhgaya region of Bihar, India. ‘Kusala’ is a Buddhist word meaning both skilful & wholesome. Our wholesome intention is to provide opportunities to increase the skills of disadvantaged folk so that their quality of life may improve.

Our projects include:

• Supporting the education of children in need
• Establishment of educational institutions for children in need
• Establishment of vocational learning centres
• Establishment of self help groups for individuals to develop their own businesses, with particular focus on women
• Encouraging seminars for women’s development and self empowerment
• Raising the self-esteem and self-reliance of the communities involved

We are a secular non-profit body with all members offering their services on a voluntary basis. Expenses associated with raising and distributing funds for project activities are kept to a minimum, thus ensuring there is the greatest transfer of benefit from the donor to the recipient. We aim to maintain the highest standards of accountability and transparency at all times.
