A Registered Trust

Sunbird Trust is a non-religious and apolitical not for profit organisation. Through the medium of education, it helps build bridges between various communities in conflict affected North East India and between people here and their countrymen elsewhere in India. Reaching out to the most underserved communities, irrespective of religion, caste or race, Sunbird Trust works to bring about lasting peace and understanding for a better future of self-reliance, dignity and hope.

Starting in Mizoram in 2004 as an informal initiative of a group of friends, Sunbird Trust was formally launched in Bangalore on 11 December 2014 as a registered Trust. It is governed by two Trustees and advised by a Board of Advisors.
