Education

Every child deserves a classroom.

6 million children between the ages of 6 and 13 are out of school in India. We work — through enrolment drives, scholarships, safe schools and digital literacy — to bring that number back to zero, one child at a time.

What we do

Education is not a privilege — it is a right.

Our education programme partners with low-income families, government schools, teachers and local volunteers to enrol out-of-school children, provide the supplies they need and keep them learning year after year.

40% of the children we enrol are girls — a deliberate focus we sustain through our flagship Every Girl in School campaign, which removes the barriers that keep girls out of the classroom: economic pressure, unsafe sanitation, digital divide and gender bias.

Beyond enrolment we invest in retention. Tutoring, learning kits, libraries, scholarships and digital-literacy sessions turn a school seat into a real foundation — one strong enough for a child to step into a different future.

Our pillars

What guides our work

Access

Enrol out-of-school children, cover fees, uniforms and supplies, and remove the immediate economic reasons families keep children home.

Dignity

Safe classrooms, separate sanitation for girls, and menstrual-hygiene support so no child stays away out of shame or discomfort.

Learning

Tutoring, remedial classes, libraries and smart-classroom access so enrolment translates into real academic progress.

Future

Scholarships, career guidance, and digital and life skills that carry children from school into higher education and work.

Focus areas

Where we go deep

School enrolment & retention

Door-to-door enrolment drives in low-income neighbourhoods, close follow-up with families and school management committees, and monthly attendance tracking so children who slip back get brought back — not written off.

Every Girl in School

Our flagship girl-child campaign supports scholarships, separate girls' toilets, menstrual-hygiene awareness and community advocacy — because in many communities a single toilet is the reason an adolescent girl stays enrolled through class 10.

Learning support

After-school tutoring, remedial classes, learning kits and library access address the learning gaps that first-generation learners face — so they don't fall behind and drop out.

Digital literacy

Basic computer training, internet access, digital classrooms and skill-development workshops close the digital divide and give children the 21st-century skills their futures will demand.

School infrastructure

Classroom improvements, learning centres, libraries and smart-classroom setups — done in partnership with government schools and corporate CSR partners — so learning happens in an environment that inspires it.

Community awareness

Lasting change begins within families. We engage parents, teachers, school management committees, community leaders and youth volunteers to build local ownership of children's education.

The challenge we're addressing

Despite significant progress in national enrolment figures, millions of Indian children — and disproportionately girls — continue to face economic barriers, inadequate sanitation, limited learning resources, gender bias and a widening digital divide. Any one of these can be the reason a child drops out; often they compound.

Our programme is designed around removing not one barrier but the full stack — so a child stays in school, learns, and moves on to what's next.

How you can support

Sponsor a girl's education, contribute school supplies or fund infrastructure projects such as a smart classroom, library or sanitation block. Corporates can partner through CSR sponsorships, employee mentorship and digital-education programmes. Schools and colleges can collaborate on awareness and peer-education initiatives.
