Our projects
Keeping students in school, and learning
Education is our core work. Everything else we do exists to remove the obstacles that pull a child out of the classroom.
Students Education
School fees, uniforms, books and stationery for students whose families cannot afford to keep them enrolled.
2,400+ students supported to dateFree Education & Tutorship
Free after-school tuition centres and one-to-one tutoring, so enrolment turns into actual learning.
310 students tutored every week
Beyond the classroom
Families often need support before schooling is even possible.
Ramzan Ration
A month's essential groceries delivered to households before Ramzan begins, with dignity and without queues.
Widows Support
Monthly support and skills training for widowed women, so their children stay in school rather than at work.
Health Support
Free medical camps, medicines and treatment referrals for families who cannot afford care.
How we work
Accountability is the whole point
Three commitments that govern every rupee the foundation spends.
- Step 1
We ask first
Every project begins with conversations in the community. We fund what people tell us they need, not what looks good in a brochure.
- Step 2
We verify
Each request is confirmed with a home visit before it enters our intake list, so support reaches the households that need it most.
- Step 3
We report back
Spending is tracked against outcomes and published, including the things that did not work as planned.
