Focus & Approach

OUR FOCUS

The Challenge We Address

Unequal access to quality education affects many young people living in low-income urban and rural communities across India, particularly girls and women. In these communities, schools and families often lack the means to equip children with the skills, guidance, and resources they need to have a fair chance in life.

As a result, social mobility remains limited, and the cycle of poverty persists—where our students come from continues to define their future.

This urgent challenge calls for democratising access to quality, affordable education and building a strong support system that equips young people with everything they need to learn, grow, and earn at par with others.

OUR APPROACH

Democratising Quality Education

We create quality teaching and learning environments for future-makers in low-income communities—opportunities they otherwise wouldn’t have. This empowers them with the self-confidence, awareness, and skills needed to make a shift in their academic and career journeys.

Sustainable Interventions

Our approach is shaped by firsthand experiences and the needs our communities express. That’s why all our offices and centres are located within the urban slums and rural villages we support.

In the heart of Mumbai, Dharavi is one of Asia’s largest slums where we started in 2009.

Sanjay Colony

In one of Delhi’s industrial areas, Sanjay Colony is a vibrant slum where we started in 2016.

Naujheel

One hour from Mathura, Naujheel is a small rural community where we started in 2022.
