Supporting Care Leavers as They Build Autonomous Adult Lives

WeLive Foundation is a Bengaluru based nonprofit supporting young adults, called care leavers, who leave Child Care Institutions, orphanages and shelter homes after turning 18. Through residential aftercare, transition support, education, employment, well being and crisis support, we help care leavers move towards safe, stable and autonomous adult lives.

Bridge the gap from institutional care to autonomous adulthood.

"I have a keen interest in starting my own business and becoming an entrepreneur". WeLive supported my plan to study and I joined St. Joseph's Evening College and completed my degree in BBA. Alongside my education, I managed to secure a part-time job at a gift packaging company and also started a small business selling coffee beans to shops. Now I have a job at Kantar, a reputed MNC. This has given me confidence and reinforced my belief that I can achieve my dream."

Message from Our CEO

"The Young People in WeLive Foundation’s program have gone through a tough journey in their childhood growing up in institutions. When they join WeLive, we support them in their growth as autonomous adults. Assisting their well-being and work readiness is what WeLive’s Bridge Program does so that the youth step out emotionally & physically resilient, experienced & skilled at work, capable with finances, armed with education, confident of their autonomy in navigating life through its ups and downs.”
