Who we are
The Veerni Network
At its heart, Veerni is more than a programme—it’s a family. It brings together supporters from around the world who share a common vision: to create opportunity for vulnerable girls in rural Rajasthan at a critical stage in their lives.
In a region where girls are often overlooked, our global Veerni family stands united in the belief that education, safety, and dignity are every girl’s right. Together, we form a strong, supportive community that champions each girl’s potential and helps her shape a brighter future.
This international support network includes:
- Fondation Veerni, a registered Swiss charity, which provides governance and fundraising support in Switzerland, allowing donors to give tax-efficiently.
- Prospero World, a UK-registered charity and the Fondation Veerni’s fiscal sponsor in the UK, enabling tax-deductible donations from UK taxpayers.
- Global Foundation for Humanity, a registered 501(c)(3) based in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, created to receive tax-deductible donations in the United States on Veerni’s behalf.
Together, these organisations form the global backbone of support for Veerni Sansthan, the registered Indian NGO that manages the daily operations of the Veerni Project and cares for the girls.
By joining us, you become part of a family that’s breaking barriers and creating real, lasting change—one girl at a time.
