Why we exist
A neighbourhood already knows who needs help. What it usually lacks is someone who will actually turn up — with a sapling, a loom, a form filled in, or an afternoon of patience.
Dignity, not pity
A loom, a trade or a self-help group hands someone their own independence. That is a different thing from charity, and it lasts longer.
Women at the centre
The trust is led by women and most of our work runs through women’s groups — because that is what changes a household’s trajectory fastest.

What we believe
Most of the women we work with do not need to be told to work hard. They need a group that meets, a skill that pays, and someone who will explain what they are already entitled to.Khushiyon Ki Udaan Charitable Trust
Our story
It started with a plate on a doorway
On 31 August 2021 the trust was registered, and a brass plate went up beside a door in Majri Mafi. Behind it was Smt. Sushila Chaudhary, a former Kshetra Panchayat member who had spent years being the person neighbours came to anyway.
Registration changed one thing: it meant the help could outlast any single person’s goodwill. Since then the work has grown into five programmes, but the method has not changed — find out who needs what, and go.
Khushiyon Ki Udaan Charitable Trust is registered under No. 876/2021 (IV) in Dehradun, Uttarakhand.
