Ms. Kakuli Sarkar
Founder / Managing Director
MBA & O Level Diploma In Computers, Digital Marketing Specialist
As the founder of JSJ, I’m dedicated to empowering underprivileged children through education. My journey began when I witnessed the heartbreaking reality that countless children were denied access to education due to poverty and lack of resources. It deeply wrenched my heart to see these children with untapped potential, deprived of the opportunity to learn and grow. This sparked a fierce determination in me to make a difference. Drawing from my passion for education and a strong sense of social justice, I founded the Jeevan Se Jeevan with the mission to provide quality education, resources, and a safe environment for children in need. My work is driven by a deep belief that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background. Over the years, I have poured my heart and soul into expanding the reach of the JSJ, impacting countless lives by offering access to education, mentorship, and essential life skills. My vision continues to inspire others to join the cause, and under my leadership, JSJ is making lasting changes in the communities it serves.
