Mission
The mission of Sitara Foundation is to give back to the people of India, who are the inspiration and backbone of Sitara Collections. We do this through our financial support of the School for Educational Development (Shiksha Vikas Vidyalaya) in the northern Indian village of Chanchali, knowing that education is perhaps the most important tool in lifting communities out of the cycle of poverty.  To learn more about the SVV School, please visit http://svvindia.org
About Us
Sitara Foundation, the charitable arm of Sitara Collections, was launched in conjunction with Sitara Collections in 2007. The Foundation exists as a tangible expression of our appreciation for the highly skilled Indian artisans who meticulously craft jewelry and lifestyle products using traditional techniques. From the beginning, we committed to returning a portion of our proceeds to the people and culture sharing their gifts with the world through Sitara Collections.
Sitara Foundation currently has one main project: the financial support of the School for Educational Development (Shiksha Vikas Vidyalaya or SVV), which is located in the northern Indian village of Chanchali. It’s a school established by Vinay Singh, the Indian-born husband of Sitara founder Linda Singh, as a vehicle to supplement the education of children in this remote village. Without additional help in subjects like English and math, most or all of the local children couldn’t earn a spot at government-run institutions of secondary education—thereby sentencing them to a life of continued poverty.
A portion of the purchase price from every Sitara Collections item is funneled directly to SVV to sustain its vision of lifting rural Indian children out of poverty. And like ripples in a pond, their successes will affect not only their families and their community, but perhaps reach into unexpected corners to inspire even greater actions.
