Two pathways. One mission.
Many of our students have had their education interrupted and are learning below their grade level.
We start by assessing each student's level, then provide targeted support in:
Students are grouped by current ability rather than age or grade. Our volunteer educators run regular classes aligned with NCERT learning objectives, helping students build strong foundations and keep up with their schoolwork.
Alongside foundational learning, our critical thinking curriculum helps students observe, reflect, communicate, and lead. It follows the six-step learning framework described below.
Students take part in:
Observe → Reflect → Express → Create → Reason → Lead
Students learn to notice details around them and become more aware of the world.
Students think about their experiences, feelings, and observations.
Students share their ideas through speaking, writing, and discussion.
Students develop their own stories and original ideas.
Students compare perspectives, spot patterns, and think critically.
Students apply what they learn to real-life situations and challenges in their communities.
What learning looks like
Students describe something they noticed during their day and explain why it stood out to them.
Students study an image, pick out its details, and build an original story from what they see.
Students read a story and write their own ending, building comprehension, creativity, and writing skills.
Students learn to listen carefully, understand different perspectives, and disagree respectfully.
Students interview a classmate: what makes them happiest, what hurts them, and what they dream of, and why. Then they think about how to ease the difficulties faced by people around them.
Students argue for and against topics close to their lives, such as "Schools should not give homework" or "Villages are better than cities," then expand each point into five sentences.
Students pick a problem in their village, like broken roads, blocked drains, or mosquitoes spreading dengue, and ask: What is it? Why does it happen? Who suffers? How can it be fixed? Then they write to the village pradhan.
Students learn to tell facts ("Faizabad district is now called Ayodhya") from opinions ("Government schools are better than private schools"), and to support each opinion with reasons.
In Sapnon ki Udaan (सपनों की उड़ान), students share what they want to become, why it matters to them, and what they are doing today to get there.
Great mentors, wherever children are
An on-ground teacher at each partner site, supported by digital infrastructure, connects students with volunteer educators who teach live, interactive sessions.
