Overview

Sustainability, social equality and the environment are now business problems & corporate leaders can't depend on governments to solve them.

Inspired by Senge's philosophy, a group of young corporate professionals came together in 2002 to set up LBTI NGO to work with grassroots initiatives for effecting positive changes in the lives of underprivileged children, their families and communities.

LBTI NGO is an NGO in India directly benefitting over 600,000 children and their families every year, through more than 250 live welfare projects on education, healthcare, livelihood and women empowerment, in over 950 remote villages and slums950 remote villages and slums across 25 states of India.

Education is both the means as well as the end to a better life: the means because it empowers an individual to earn his/her livelihood and the end because it increases one's awareness on a range of issues – from healthcare to appropriate social behaviour to understanding one's rights – and in the process help him/her evolve as a better citizen.

Doubtless, education is the most powerful catalyst for social transformation. But child education cannot be done in isolation. A child will go to school only if the family, particularly the mother, is assured of healthcare and empowered. Moreover, when an elder sibling is relevantly skilled to be employable and begins earning, the journey of empowerment continues beyond the present generation.
