Are you ready to donate your unused computer?

Send it our way, we will use your devices to set up computer labs in rural areas of India where students currently have no access to technology. These labs will give adolescent girls the chance to learn, grow, and unlock endless opportunities.

Together, we are building a brighter future side by side.?

Donate today!

We Have Kickstarted Our Skilling Initiative?

We are happy to share that our skilling initiative has officially launched in six locations in rural Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh! Over the next 8 weeks, a cohort of 300 students will participate in an immersive program that focuses on job readiness, employability, digital literacy, and fostering an entrepreneurial mindset. We are excited to support these talented youths as they prepare to become future changemakers!

First Time Managers Training

We recently hosted a ‘First-Time Manager’ workshop in partnership with FocusU to equip our new leaders with essential leadership skills. Fifteen team members joined the session, which focused on effective communication, conflict resolution, and performance management. They learned how to build high-performing teams, foster trust, and navigate the challenges of leadership.

By investing in our leaders, we’re strengthening our inclusive culture and preparing for future growth.

Stories From the Field

Amaresh, our fellow from Sirwar, was visiting his local salon on a Sunday where he spotted one of his Storytelling Saturday participants. Five-year-old Aneesh immediately recognized Amaresh as the Storytellig Anna and eagerly started talking about the last storytelling session where he had learned the story of Cheeku. Aneesh, full of enthusiasm, retold the entire story to Amaresh right there in the salon! Everyone around was delighted to see Aneesh's excitement and love for storytelling.
