What We Do
🌟 Nukkad Pathshalas( Street Schools): Learning Begins at the Doorstep
For children who’ve never stepped into a classroom, our street schools bring education to where they live. We offer basic literacy, numeracy, and life skills—taught by passionate teachers and volunteers in informal yet nurturing spaces.
📘 Mainstreaming Education: Bridging to Formal Schools
We help capable children transition from informal settings to formal schools—government or NGO-run—by guiding them through admissions and providing continued academic support. Our goal is to give every child a shot at structured, quality education.
📚 Book Sponsorship: Supporting Learning Beyond Class 8
While free books are available till Class 8 under the RTE Act, students in higher classes often struggle without learning materials. We step in to sponsor books for Classes 9 and above—ensuring no student falls behind due to cost.
🎓 College Fee Support: Opening Doors to Higher Education
We sponsor tuition, admission, and exam fees for deserving students pursuing college degrees. By removing financial roadblocks, we help young adults from underprivileged backgrounds reach their academic and career dreams.
🕊 Open Schooling: Flexible Learning for All
Through the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS), we support children who cannot attend regular schools. This model allows students to learn at their own pace—providing a second chance at completing their education.
💡 Sponsoring Bright Minds: Fueling Future Leaders
We offer scholarships and mentorship to Class 10 toppers from low-income families, especially those aiming for professional careers like medicine, engineering, and more. Our support helps them soar beyond financial limitations.
