Why leave a Gift in your Will?

El Shaddai depends on the gifts people choose to leave in their Wills. Your gift can help educate children in India, giving them the opportunity for a safer life and a brighter future. Today, El Shaddai supports over 2,500 children in accessing quality education, ensuring equal opportunities for girls and boys.

Every child matters. For many children, a brighter future begins with someone who believes in their dreams and chooses to support them. By leaving a gift in your Will, you can create a lasting impact beyond your lifetime. There are three types of gifts you may leave in your Will: residuary, pecuniary, and specific. Many people choose a residuary gift, as it ensures their contribution keeps pace with inflation and continues to hold value over time.

What we do

An NGO focused on Education

Children learning with a teacher

Education is the key out of poverty

Children born into poverty often grow up without choices, voice, or opportunity. For many families, education feels out of reach, and children are expected to contribute to survival rather than attend school. Without education, the cycle of poverty continues.

Through education initiatives, we give children the chance to learn, grow, and imagine a better future. By supporting access to schooling and learning support, we help children move away from exploitation and towards independence, dignity, and hope.
