Our mission

We bridge industry skill gaps, we make quality education reachable for the children who need it most, and we rebuild the classrooms, sanitation and libraries that public schools have gone without for too long.

What we do

Three focus areas. One long road.

We're not trying to be everywhere. We work where the gap between potential and opportunity is widest — and where we can measure the difference we make.

A Class 11 student in her after-school ASHA tuition class

One student's road — Project ASHA

This is Priya.
She almost stopped in Class 8.

Before

Priya was almost pulled out of school after Class 8. Her family couldn't afford tuition fees, and she was falling behind in maths and English.

The turn

A neighbour told her mother about ASHA. Within a week, Priya was in a free after-school class, three evenings a week, with two mentors from a local college.

Now

Priya is in Class 11 with a science stream. She wants to be a nurse. ASHA covers her books, her fees, and — for the first time — a laptop she can share at home.

Next

There are 47 children on our ASHA waitlist this term. Every ₹15,000 sponsors one child, for one full year.
