Education

 Help children go to school, learn, and live their dreams...

We focus on high-quality and low-cost, replicable interventions to ensure that poor children go to school, learn, and live their dreams. Our learning programmes are focused on Early Childhood Education to Secondary Education. They are locally contextualized so that children can easily adapt to the teaching and learning process, demonstrating a proven impact on their learning outcomes.

Children not only attend the local school system, but also develop physically, mentally and socially through programme activities providing holistic education at our Learning Enhancement Centres (LECs). Our teachers work with children in the communities through organisations and institutions, and our programmes reach poor children in the remotest villages of India.
