| What does TARA mean? |
| TARA means "star" in Hindi and Sanskrit. To "reach
for the stars" is what we will accomplish with your generous
help! TARA is also the goddess of universal compassion in Buddhism,
often called the "mother of liberation", representing
the virtues of success in work and achievements. |
| What is TARA trust ? |
TARA trust is a non-profit organization that supports projects
located in different parts of India, ranging from the Himalayas
in the extreme North, to Goa in the South.
With our engagement we want to create interest and opportunity. As fundraisers we link the donors with the cause and provide communication between the two. Our goal is to support projects that work with credibility, enthusiasm and dedication to help the less privileged in India. |
| How does TARA choose its projects? |
TARA trust is networking closely with people from all walks
of life within India. When we hear of a good and efficient project,
we do research on the project and visit it to find out about
their needs and how they deliver on their goals.
We choose small and middle range projects that fit in with the
mission and vision of TARA trust , projects that educate, empower
and enable the underprivileged, especially children and women
to improve their lives. |
| Can a project apply for support by TARA trust ? |
| Right now, we are not in the position to take on more projects.
However, we are happy to receive your application. If your project
falls in line with TARA trust's mission and vision, we might
come back to you at a different time. |
