Thaakat At UCLA

In launching a Thaakat chapter at UCLA, our vision is to create a vibrant community that is committed to eradicating global poverty through research, fundraising, healthcare, and mission trips. Thaakat, meaning "strength", encapsulates our mission: to ignite a fire of passion, collaboration, and actionable change within the hearts of UCLA students. At the core of our pursuit is cultivating UCLA undergraduates to enact real-world impact through charity, volunteering, and advocacy to underserved communities. Our chapter aligns with the 501(c)(3) non-profit, Thaakat Foundation, which encourages philanthropy and humanitarianism among the community. Thaakat Foundation works with three distinct communities across Africa and South Asia. By pooling our collective resources and strengths, our UCLA Thaakat chapter is on a quest to devise sustainable solutions targeting the foundational issues of poverty and inequality.
