About Us
Who We Are & Why We Exist
Khushi Charitable Society is a Registered NGO
Khushi Charitable Society is a registered non-profit organization founded in 2002 by Anand Mehrotra & Madelien Mishra-Broekman.
Based in Rishikesh, India, Khushi works with underprivileged children and families by providing access to education, nutritious meals, healthcare, and skill development. What began as a small initiative has grown into a long-term commitment to creating stability, opportunity, and dignity for hundreds of children every year.
Khushi believes that when children are supported consistently — in their education, health, and well-being — they are able to grow with confidence and hope for a better future.
International support initiatives can also be explored through Khushi Kids Netherlands.
That's why we're here to change all that!
Children from deprived backgrounds often face barriers that prevent them from continuing their education. Many families struggle to afford school fees, uniforms, learning materials, and medical care. Girls are especially vulnerable to dropping out of school due to family responsibilities and financial pressure.
Without timely support, many children lose the opportunity to develop skills or pursue higher education.

What Is Khushi
Understanding Khushi
Khushi is more than an organization — it is a community where children are supported, encouraged, and cared for every day.
Through education support, daily meals, healthcare, and skill-building programs, Khushi creates a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and believe in their future.
