About PUSHPA
After many generations of nomadic existence, a group of families from the Yanadi tribe joined together to create a permanent settlement on the edge of Ganapavaram, a small village in rural India.
Encouraged to abandon their migratory life style by a government land grant, the tribal people were then challenged to develop a cooperative community and transition to permanent homes and sustainable jobs. Franklin Gummadi and his wife, Shirley, commited to helping this growing community to secure a more sustainable life style.
At the time, other land grant parcels were also being settled by tribal people throughout the Guntur district where Franklin was born. In July of 2005, Franklin and Shirley incorporated PUSHPA as a 501(c)3 charitable organization to help these developing communities to help themselves.

Creating Community
PUSHPA Projects
The PUSHPA mission has evolved during our many years of operation. Always seeking to serve the people of the villages better, PUSHPA's focus has gradually shifted toward scholastic and vocational education to better prepare the youth of each village for the challenge of helping themselves.
The evening schools and sewing schools have become PUSHPA's most successful initiatives.

Future of the Community
Contributions
Your contribution to PUSHPA goes a long way in India, not only because it will be sent half-way around the world, but also because a dollar in India does so much work.
Your donation is further magnified as PUSHPA partners with other NGOs, volunteers, and even the Indian government to increase the effectiveness of your generosity.
Thank you for considering our mission for your support.
