βIf one child reads tonight because of what we built, everything we did was worth it.β
Vikash started the foundation in a single rented room with a blackboard he carried from home. He sets the long-term direction of the organisation and keeps the team honest about why we started.
βCommunities donβt need outsiders to fix them. They need someone to listen first.β
Babli co-founded the foundation and leads our work with families β the parents, grandparents and elder siblings who decide whether a child stays in school. She is the reason our centres have continuity.
βPlans are easy. Showing up at 7 a.m. for the next ten years is the work.β
Kundan runs day-to-day operations across every centre β curriculum, attendance, infrastructure and hiring. If something is on schedule, it is because he made it so.
βEvery weekend a volunteer chooses us over a hundred other things. We donβt take that lightly.β
Himanshu coordinates our volunteer network and the day-to-day at our flagship centre. He onboards every new teacher, builds the rosters and is usually the last person to leave on a Sunday.
Our team is small on purpose. The real work happens through our volunteers β teaching weekend classes, mentoring scholarship students, running events, or just sharing skills you already have.
Two weekends a month at a centre near you. We'll match you to a subject and age group.
Long-term 1:1 mentorship for scholarship recipients β monthly calls, occasional in-person meetings.
Pro-bono help with design, legal, accounting, software, or anything else you do well. We need it.
There are many ways to help a child break the cycle of poverty. Choose the one that fits you.
