Tripura Foundation seeks to deliver HoPE to people living in poverty, hunger, violence, disease, inequality and exploitation.   To achieve Tripura’s vision, we focus on the area where we believe we can have the greatest impact: phonemic intelligence and transformative education. We work in collaboration with school communities on a global level to develop academic and social skills. We partner with local governments across India to deliver holistic community building programs. We partner with individual donors to bring phonemic intelligence programs to targeted special needs groups. Tripura Foundation works with the highest values of full integrity, accountability, commitment to success, ethics, community building, efficiency and inspiration.   Tripura Foundation is a 501(c)3 public benefit corporation and all donations are deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Tripura Foundation is also registered with the Government of India Income Tax Department u/s 80G.

Our website is the most comprehensive source of information about Tripura Foundation. It contains descriptions of our programs, three years of audited financial statements and our most recent annual report.

In the communities where we work, a relatively small investment can have major impact in the lives of hundreds (or thousands) of children. We believe that every child deserves to develop their potential, no matter the situation they were born into, but the truth is that in many parts of the world —especially in rural communities or in big city slums —many children are still denied that basic human right. 

A lot happens at Tripura Foundation, so to make sure you are getting all the latest results numbers, expansion updates and event information, be sure to sign up for our quarterly email newsletter. We also post regularly to the Facebook page, Blog and YouTube Channel, so no matter where you live, you can always stay in touch.

Tripura Foundation in India is dedicated to promoting and enabling transformational education through school and HoPE programs focused on increasing academic and social intelligence, decreasing hunger, violence, disease, inequality and exploitation. We achieve this goal by establishing partnerships with local school communities, training teachers on phonemic intelligence and transformational education, supporting girls and boys to complete secondary school with the holistic life skills necessary to succeed in school and future life. The  after school HoPE Learning Centers in India bring following results:  

• Improved Academic performance: better grades and test scores,
• Greater Emotional Intelligence: positive attitude, increased resilience,
• Reduced Behavior Issues: fewer conflicts, better cooperation,
• Greater Sense of Confidence: more effective communication, ability to be assertive without being aggressive.

We act as a non-governmental 501(3)c charitable organization. Because we work in public (government) schools, we partner with government ministries of education to implement our transformational educational programs but are not involved in their politics.  

In 2000 Tripura launched in India, our first country of operation. As the organization grew, we began to identify other countries facing similar educational challenges that our programs were suited to address, which led to expansion into 5 more countries US, Haiti, Mexico, Trinidad, UK.  

Tripura is growing every day—serving new communities and new regions in our 5 countries of operation. Recognizing that the need for our work exists in many other countries across the developing world, we are also firmly committed to increasing the international footprint of our programs.  

One of Tripura’s fundamental philosophies is community participation, so our local teams take great care in identifying each HoPE centre or PI School Project. While selection criteria may vary by country, there are three important requirements:  

1. Needs assessment: Before beginning work, our team conducts a thorough assessment of each school community to ensure that there is a genuine need for HoPE or PI support and that our HoPE and PI programs can have a significant positive impact.
2. Government approval: Because we work in government (public) schools, the Ministry of Education at the local or national level must approve PI project locations before we can begin work.
