Introducing Sponsorshare

Why sponsor alone when we can make a difference together?

You already share rides, streaming services and family plans. Now, you can share the opportunity to transform lives.

Through SponsorShare, you can give just $25 a month, joining with other sponsors across Australia to help support an entire Flower Family Home in India.

Flower Family Homes provide vulnerable children with a safe and loving home environment where they can grow, learn and thrive. Your monthly support joins with the generosity of others to help provide the everyday care that makes this possible — including nutritious meals, education, healthcare and holistic care.

You don’t need to take on the full cost of sponsorship alone.

SponsorShare brings people together, with each person chipping in to help provide the consistent care a whole Flower Family needs.

Whether you’re new to Mukti or have supported our work for years, SponsorShare is a simple and accessible way to make a lasting difference.

Shreya* was just nine years old when her life changed forever. Abandoned at a railway station, she was left alone in a frightening and unfamiliar world, frightened, vulnerable, and with nowhere to turn.

When the police brought her to Pandita Ramabai Mukti Mission, everything began to change.

Instead of fear, she found safety. Instead of uncertainty, she found hope.

At Mukti, Shreya discovered a loving family, an education, and the chance to dream about a future she never thought possible.

Today, children like Shreya are still waiting for someone to stand beside them. By becoming a sponsor, you can help provide the love, care, education and opportunities that transform a child’s life forever.

What is sponsorship?2026-08-31T04:27:58+00:00

Sponsorship is a meaningful partnership that helps vulnerable children, mothers, grandmothers, and people with disabilities access the care and opportunities they need to thrive.

Your monthly support provides access to education, nutritious meals, healthcare, safe accommodation where needed, life skills, and holistic care. More than meeting immediate needs, sponsorship helps individuals build brighter futures and break the cycle of poverty.

How much does it cost to sponsor someone?2026-09-03T05:50:05+00:00

Sponsorship starts from $40 per month, helping provide education, healthcare, nutritious meals, and holistic care.

We have also introduced SponsorShare, a more accessible way to sponsor for just $25 a month, joining with other sponsors across Australia to help support Flower Family Homes in India.

How are sponsorship funds used?2026-08-31T04:28:35+00:00

Your sponsorship contributes to the holistic care of your sponsored person while also strengthening the programmes and community around them.

Funds help provide:

  • Education and school supplies
  • Nutritious meals
  • Healthcare and medical support
  • Safe accommodation where required
  • Counselling and emotional support
  • Vocational training and life skills
  • Community development and family support

This approach ensures each person receives the support they need while creating lasting change for future generations.

How is sponsoring through Mukti different from other organisations?2026-08-31T04:28:54+00:00

At Mukti, sponsorship is about more than financial support—it’s about walking alongside someone throughout their journey.

Since 1903, Mukti has provided holistic care that addresses physical, emotional, educational, social, and spiritual needs. Through our trusted partners in India and Sri Lanka, we work closely with local communities to provide long-term support that empowers individuals to become confident, independent, and hope-filled.

Sponsors also receive regular updates and have opportunities to build a personal connection through letters and progress reports.

Is Mukti’s sponsorship programme effective?2026-08-31T04:29:06+00:00

Yes. For more than 120 years, Mukti has seen lives transformed through long-term, holistic care.

Thousands of children, women, and families have received education, vocational training, healthcare, safe accommodation, and opportunities to build independent futures. Many sponsored children have gone on to become teachers, nurses, social workers, business owners, and community leaders who are now helping others in return.

Your sponsorship creates lasting change that reaches beyond one individual to strengthen families and communities.

When will my sponsored person complete the sponsorship programme?2026-08-31T04:29:13+00:00

The length of sponsorship depends on each individual’s circumstances and programme.

Children are typically sponsored until they complete their education or become independent. Other sponsorships, such as mothers, grandmothers, or people with disabilities, continue while support is needed or until circumstances change.

If your sponsored person leaves the programme, we’ll let you know and invite you to sponsor someone else who is waiting for support.

Can I visit my sponsored person?2026-08-31T04:29:20+00:00

In some circumstances, visits may be possible as part of an organised Mukti team or approved programme. To protect the privacy and wellbeing of those we support, all visits must be arranged through Mukti.

POST-CYCLONE REBUIDLING

Restoring dignity, freedom to re-build.

Following the severe Cyclone Ditwah in Nov 2025, vulnerable families have been left entirely exposed by devastating structural damage and compounding global economic pressures that have driven local living costs to unprecedented heights.

To help affected households rebuild, recover, and get their lives back, help our partner deliver food packs, essential household items and urgent home or roof restoration.

OUTREACH HUBS TO EXTEND REACH

Extending the freedom to thrive with education

Education unlocks the vital pathway for children to step into their full potential, breaking the cycle of rural isolation. With our main Hope Centre in Hatton currently operating at full capacity to serve 220 children, we are stepping in to actively expand our reach to underserved families.

These satellite outreach hubs serve to extend the impact of proven educational support, nutrition, and care frameworks directly into isolated tea plantation communities, while setting up localised learning environments that allow us to move past current capacity limits and protect the next generation of children.

SINGLE PARENTS

Empower and give
freedom to flourish 

At the heart of WOHL is a deep understanding of the challenges faced by single parents. Balancing demanding work hours with the responsibility of caring for their children, including covering essential needs like education and healthcare, can be overwhelmingly stressful. We recognize the heavy weight on single parents to manage everything alone, especially when children are young and dependent.

This project offers a lifeline and vital support to these parents. But we don’t stop there – we empower single parents through skill development and training, enhancing their earning potential and self-sufficiency.

Your contribution to the Single Parent Project is an investment in hope and a brighter future. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of these dedicated parents and their children.

HOME RELIEF

True freedom begins with a safe place to call home.

Right now, select families of the Wings of Hope Lanka programme, alongside highly vulnerable households in neighbouring outreach areas, are living in homes with severely makeshift and compromised conditions. Living in these conditions strips parents and children of their basic security and dignity, keeping families trapped in a cycle of survival.

Through this active project, we are stepping in to provide critical shelter, giving a community’s most-at-risk children the security they need to grow, flourish and thrive. More than just mixing concrete, your generosity grants these families the freedom to live with true dignity.

SECURING SCHOOL FOUNDATIONS 

Giving children the foundational freedom to grow.

True freedom begins with education – breaking the poverty cycle, protecting children from abusive labour, and nurturing their potential. Today, after years of faithful service, our ageing campus buildings are structurally failing. Core school facilities and classrooms are in urgent need of repair and renewal.
To ensure our schools remain a trusted anchor and the freedom of education stays accessible for 2,300 students, we are stepping in to:

  • Safely removing hazardous asbestos and weatherproofing the leaking school hall roof
  • Resolving severe water seepage and wall moisture to protect classroom structural integrity.

EFFLUENT TREATMENT & WASTE SYSTEMS

Securing long term foundation to self-sustain. 

Critical infrastructure updates are underway to replace an outdated sewerage system at the main Mukti campus that is no longer safe or viable. Planning and construction have begun on a large new concrete tank which incorporates the installation of a comprehensive effluent treatment system, replacing the failing setup with a highly sustainable solution to actively manage waste and protect the surrounding environment. Once processed, the water will be used to safely irrigate certain crops on the Mukti farm, helping to preserve the precious water supply.

SAFE SPACES

AND SANITATION

The foundational freedom to live with dignity.

Many tea estate workers’ families live in rows of tiny “houses” called “lines”, sharing toilets with other families or lacking basic bathing facilities.  For them, a simple shower means a long walk to a stream, often in the dark. Young girls are especially vulnerable, forced to bathe before sunrise or in the open rain, sometimes even in the open.

Dina*, a bright young girl lives on a hilltop in Kudaoya. Like many of the families in the area, Dina’s family struggles with basic necessities.  Every day, Dina joins her mother and grandmother on a gruelling 2km walk to collect water for their household. Bathing happens by the river, exposed and vulnerable.  Even at home, with limited water, privacy is a luxury Dina cannot afford.

Your support does more than lay pipes and mix concrete. It removes a daily threat of abuse, protects young girls and grant families the basic freedom to live with dignity!

HOSTEL FACILITIES

FOR REMOTE STUDENTS

Giving marginalised children the foundational freedom to thrive.

In underserved regions of India, many children continue to be left behind, with the deepest divide beginning with a lack of access to education.

Our hostels for children serve to remove the geographic barrier to education, providing a nurturing home away from home, so girls and boys can consistently attend school.

Today these ageing hostels are stretched far past capacity and in poor condition.

Crucial operational and living spaces, including the kitchen, dining hall, sanitation blocks, living spaces, and staff quarters, can no longer meet basic needs and are in desperate need of updating. Because the physical infrastructure cannot expand, we are forced to turn away a growing waiting list of children who have no other safe place to live while attending school.

We are stepping in to rebuild and expand these facilities from the ground up, giving marginalised children the foundational freedom to thrive.

Your support brings this freedom to life, shifting the trajectory to break the cycle of systemic neglect.

Will you join us to step in?”

Safe Spaces and sanitation solutions project

Many tea estate workers’ families live in rows of tiny “houses” called “lines”, sharing toilets with other families and lacking basic bathing facilities. For them, a simple shower means a long walk to a stream, often in the dark. Young girls are especially vulnerable, forced to bathe before sunrise or in the open rain, sometimes even in the open.

Every day, Dina joins her mother and grandmother on a gruelling 2km walk to collect water for their household. Bathing happens by the river, exposed and vulnerable. Even at home, with limited water, privacy is a luxury Dina cannot afford.

Your donation can change this. By funding private bathing areas, we can create safe havens where children and women can wash with dignity, reduce the risk of abuse, and enjoy the basic right to privacy.

India Project

Frontage wall project

The expansion of the road adjacent to the Mission has severely compromised the security and privacy of its residents. Despite attempts to have the road diverted, construction has proceeded, resulting in an elevated roadway that directly overlooks the facilities, exposing our residents, particularly vulnerable women and children, to increased risks of intrusion and compromised safety.

To overcome this situation, the existing compound walls and security fencing will need to be rebuilt. This includes increasing the height of the wall and fencing on both sides of the road affecting the frontage main campus entrance and access to the homes for the elderly ladies and visually challenged ladies. The new walls will shield our community from the intrusive effects of the elevated road.

India Project

Empowerment Through Education Project

Our projects focus on increasing access to quality education for communities, transforming lives and fostering brighter future.

Initiatives may include renovation and repainting aged and unsafe school facilities, including repairing roofs to create safe and more conducive learning environments.

India Project

Good Harvest project

This ongoing project is all about maximising the yield from Mukti’s 160 acres of farmland. It includes utilising sustainable, organic agriculture methods and maintaining farm machinery and equipment. It includes plans to build a large dam and contouring of the land to maximise collection of rainwater that falls on the property, especially during monsoon season.

Many of the grain crops, fruit and vegetables are vital for supplying Mukti’s kitchens. Surplus grains and sugar cane can be sold to produce income.

India Project

solar panels project

Blessed with abundant sunshine most of the year, Mukti Mission has a fantastic opportunity to embrace clean energy. Solar panels are a cost-effective way to power the campus, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and transitioning towards a sustainable future.

Several exciting solar projects have been identified to bring renewable energy to different parts of the Mission, including the Junior College and possibly the Hospital and residential homes.

Hatton Education Centre phase 2

Thanks to the generosity of Australian donors, the Hope Centre is a beacon of education and empowerment in the Hatton community, providing a vital lifeline for 200 children and their families. These children, from families facing poverty and instability, currently receive academic support, a nutritious meal twice a week, and enriching activities that promote holistic development.

These children, from families facing poverty and instability, currently receive academic support, a nutritious meal twice a week, and enriching activities that promote holistic development. For many, Hope Centre is not just a place to learn, but a safe haven.

The Hope Centre has reached a wonderful turning point! We need to expand!

Due to overwhelming demand for the programmes, the Centre is bursting at the seams and require more space to continue serving children and families. We are evaluating exciting possibilities for expansion including adding an additional floor or building new, which may be necessary as the current building’s foundation might not support additional floors. The added space will allow more regular meals and learning support, dedicated classrooms, and expanded women’s and men’s empowerment programs – all to create a brighter future for the entire community.
