Help Empower

Empowering the underprivileged youth of today with a better tomorrow!

Help Empower is a non-profit organization founded and run by youth to help our local and global disadvantaged communities through better education, food, healthcare and livelihood.

Our Founders

Sisters Sanya and Sanah Goenka believe that by creating awareness for underprivileged children’s education, health issues, and gender equality they can inspire others to become involved in undertaking charitable projects to help those in need. Sanya is a Sophomore in high school and Sanah is in 6^th Grade.

The Goenka sisters always believe in helping others and giving back to their community. From a young age, they have been involved in fundraising efforts and volunteering at various sites at home in Wellesley, MA and in India through different organizations.
