Protecting the Innocent for a Better Tomorrow
VAKYA FOUNDATION
“Because Every child deserves a shield in the battle of life"
About Vakya Foundation
Vakya Foundation is a public charitable trust founded on the belief that prevention is the most powerful form of protection. Based in Bangalore, India, Vakya Foundation is dedicated to tackling critical issues such as child abuse, bullying, cyber threats, and addiction—challenges that leave lasting scars on children’s physical and mental health.
Our approach is unique in its focus on awareness and prevention, ensuring that children, their caregivers, and communities are empowered with the knowledge and tools they need to avoid harm before it occurs. Through our flagship initiative, Project Chiguru, we engage children, parents, educators, and communities in workshops, counseling, and support programs designed to build resilience and awareness from an early age.
Our Story
The seeds of Vakya Foundation were sown through years of fieldwork, hands-on experiences, and deep research on the challenges faced by children in today’s society. Our founder, Ms. Vijeyarupaa Muralidhara, recognized a glaring gap—too many interventions focus on reacting to problems, but few emphasize prevention
Our work took shape through Project Chiguru, a comprehensive initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the risks children face, from sexual abuse and addiction to cyber threats and bullying. Chiguru means “sprout” in Kannada, symbolizing the fresh start and the new opportunities we hope to cultivate for children
We started small—local workshops in Bangalore schools, counseling sessions with parents and teachers—but the impact was undeniable. As the demand for our programs grew, so did our vision. What began as a local effort is now expanding across communities, with a clear focus on prevention as the most powerful tool to protect children
“Through Vakya Foundation, we are building a support system—an ecosystem where children, parents, educators, and communities work together to ensure the safety and well-being of the next generation. This journey is not just about addressing the problems of today, but creating a world where every child can thrive tomorrow.” ~ Vijeyarupaa
