Changing lives with the power of education

For nearly a decade, we’ve been supporting Shanti Bhavan, a boarding school for some of India’s most disadvantaged children.

Shanti Bhavan provides them with free food, clothes and quality education from pre-kindergarten through to college.   

Giving these children a hand up, not just a handout, is helping them break the shackles of poverty within a single generation. And we’re proud to play a part in that.

On a visit to India earlier this year, ExxonMobil Chairman and CEO Darren Woods met with young men and women who have graduated from Shanti Bhavan. Some of them have even gone on to join ExxonMobil.

While interacting with the Shanti Bhavan graduates, Darren emphasized the importance of a good education and hard work in fighting your way up.
