ASHWINI
ANGADI TRUST

Who We Are

Ashwini Angadi and her father Prakash Angadi founded Ashwini Angadi Trust (AAT) in 2014. Let us share with you our story and our journey to light.

Along with a team of well-wishers, we run Belaku Academy, a residential school for the visually impaired. The Trust runs on the promise of uplifting the lives of these children. Presently, the Academy supports 35 children at a residential school in Bangalore, India, providing them with meals, shelter, and education. 
We believe in using education to empower children and enabling them to lead independent lives in the future. Our focus is on self-sustenance. We are a non-profit that receives no government aid. Instead, we rely on contributions from individuals, foundations and corporations to fund our programs and dreams. 
We have big plans and big dreams for our children - imagining them to lead lives filled with light. A life where they can live with dignity, hope, and a smile.

Our Goals

Our goals and objectives are simple but heartfelt. To start with, we want to promote and run educational institutions for differently abled students. 

We want to escalate learning with scholarships, stipends, and prizes to encourage personal development. We consider education as the means to enable empowerment - we want our children to be gainfully self-employed. Lastly, we also aim to expand our outreach by building hostels for blind and visually impaired children.

Our Values

We are committed to the seemingly impossible. We recognize that life gifts us opportunities to grow, regardless of our abilities or impairments. We continue to dream that we can spread light, one beacon of hope that will show us the way to better tomorrows.

"THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN being blind is having sight but no vision." -HELEN KELLER

Our Mission

Our vision is to promote and maintain excellent and comprehensive educational opportunities for all differently abled children. We want these opportunities to create in them the highest potential to lead an adult life of independence. At the heart of our vision is our belief to enable a meaningful personal, family and community life by being an all-inclusive school that enables the disabled. We want to give light from the darkness of despair and helplessness through empowerment and education.

Our Vision

The Belaku Academy provides intensive educational services to children who have primary learning needs related to their visual impairment. Our mission is to provide comprehensive education to children struck by the twin blows of visual impairment and poverty. We work to ensure that these children achieve their greatest potential. We promote and provide free and appropriate educational opportunities.
