About us
Lighthouse Communities Foundation works in the area of skilling and livelihoods for underserved youth. This is a
pioneering program with a strong PPP model, an agency-led approach to livelihoods, and a vision of socio-economic
transformation. The Lighthouses are run through a public-private partnership that empowers the Government,
Corporations, NGOs, and Citizens to work together towards changing lives. The provision of location and capital
expenditure for the Lighthouse centers is taken care of by the Government. Corporates contribute through CSR
funds to provide operational expenses. NGOs come on board to provide various skilling courses to the youth. With
penetration in more than 400 of the 500-odd slum communities of Pune, the program has now expanded to other
cities viz. PCMC, Dombivali, Aurangabad and also States viz. Delhi, Odisha, and Hyderabad.
