Bharavase was born
Not in a boardroom - but on the streets of Bengaluru. A small group of passionate people come together with one shared dream: to be a light of hope. No budget. No office. Just purpose.

Milestones
The journey of Bharavase.
Six years. One movement. From a single street in Bengaluru to a statewide network of hope - this is how Bharavase grew.
2020
Crisis response - COVID-19 resilience
When the pandemic brought the city to its knees, Bharavase stepped forward. Thousands of daily-wage workers and migrant families received meals. Children in slum communities were taught when schools shut. Street dogs were fed as the city emptied. A movement tested early - it did not flinch.

Official registration
7th July - Official registration under the Karnataka State Registration and Stamps Department, formalising what the community already knew: this was real, and built to last. Environmental work intensifies: massive plantation drives take root across the city, one sapling at a time.
