At Ether India, we are dedicated to transforming the lives of marginalized children who reside in children’s homes, tribal settlements, and slums. Our mission is to equip these deserving beneficiaries with the power to dream big through education, empowerment, and engaging activities.
We envision a world where vulnerable children and youth learn and empower their skills with happiness; and become integral parts of the larger society, contributing to its growth.
We are dedicated to equipping vulnerable children and youth through inspirational education, we empower them to develop essential social and life skills. By fostering mentoring relationships, facilitating networking opportunities, and providing ongoing support, we guide their integration into society with purpose and confidence.
Just like the classical elements of water, fire, earth, and air, Ether represents the fifth known element. It is the ethereal substance that fills the celestial realm beyond our terrestrial sphere. Ether, to us, symbolizes the power of life and acts as an extension of magic. At Ether India, we create a space where marginalized children can discover the power of life within themselves and conjure magic in their own lives. Many children residing in Child Care Institutions, SC Communities, and Tribal Settlements have limited dreams and aspirations. Ether India strives to empower these children to dream big and achieve their goals. Our activities are divided into three transformative phases: Education, Empowerment, and Engagement.
Ether India is proudly registered under the Travancore Cochin Literary, Scientific, and Charitable Registration Act 1995. Additionally, we hold certifications for 12A and 80G of Income Tax Exemption, as well as CSR1 Registration.
Operating primarily in Kerala, Ether India trains participants from various backgrounds, including Visually Impaired, Orphan children, Slum children, and tribal settlements. Most of these students possess modest aspirations. To help them unlock their potential, we offer a diverse range of activities such as short filmmaking, workshops, mentoring programs, and life skills training.

"I feel very privileged to be able to inaugurate the Shopping Festival for the Visually Impaired, jointly organized by Lulu Mall and Ether India. All the best to this group for giving these kids an opportunity to see, hear, touch, and buy things they love at Lulu Mall."
Former Director of the Department of Women and Child, Kerala
"During the challenging lockdown period, Ether India took an inspiring initiative to restore joy and reduce mental stress among children in childcare institutions. It is heartening to see the efforts made by Ether India in conducting an online youth festival, and exploring the possibilities of Google Meet to the maximum. Children from around twenty-five childcare institutions participated in this innovative festival, showcasing their talents and engaging in meaningful activities. This initiative not only provided a platform for children to express themselves but also helped in maintaining their mental well-being during such unprecedented times. Ether India's dedication to the welfare of underprivileged children is commendable, and their creative approach to overcoming obstacles sets a remarkable example for others to follow."
District Child Protection Officer, Trivandrum
"Ether India has been doing such commendable activities for CNCP children since 2018. Some of the project’s worth mentioning are Edu Saathi, HomeFrames, Code and Conquer, FunLingua, and Click and Blink with CCI. Every project done by Ether India is very different from other NGOs. Ether India designs projects as per the needs of the children, ensuring that each initiative is tailored to address specific challenges and opportunities. Their dedication and innovative approach have significantly impacted the lives of many underprivileged children, providing them with the support and resources they need to thrive."
Former District Collector Trivandrum
The Code and Conquer project, providing coding training to children in collaboration with Ether India and Technopark, is highly commendable. Through this initiative, children in Child Care Institutions will be able to get a closer look at Technopark and learn about job opportunities in the IT sector. Moreover, if at least one person can secure a job in the IT field, it will serve as an inspiration to other children living in such homes."
General Manager at Lulu Mall, Trivandrum
"Trivandrum Lulu Mall was able to collaborate in the Taare Zameen Par project by partnering with Ether India. Their contribution to one of our activities called Artarium is immense. It is great to see this NGO coming forward with different ideas in the field of the visually impaired. We are eager to continue our partnership and look forward to doing more innovative things with this inspiring group."
