We strongly believe that the only metrics that matters to us is the "destination" that we dream for each of our cohorts and the "effect" they will bring about in their community. In fact we call each of our cohort NOT by the year of them joining us, but the year they will graduate and get their job! 


Our Year 1 journey had 21 families across 2 locations who have embraced us for helping them in their child's educational journey. The children's age range from 10 to 21 and are currently studying in different grades / schools and colleges. 


Now in Year 4 - We are covering 320+ families across 10+ communities through our 7 Centres in Bangalore and Kerala (Rural). Hopefully our "satellite centers" staffed with our own alumni/teachers from the community will soon start playing the role of "force-multipliers" and uplift the 250-200 households in each of the communities we touch!


Our interventions at this point includes taking over full/partial finances of their school expenses, bi-monthly progress check with schools and parents, training and supporting hand-picked tuition teachers/field staff in filling the ed-gaps and lastly mentoring/counselling sessions with both parents and children. We are also constantly in talks with partner organizations on providing other services like "financial umbrella" (Insurance, Saving Plans and access to low interest loans) , Career Awareness, Re-skilling and more that will help families stay on the path towards educating their child!


Stay tuned as  Chethan, Hanumashree, Almaz, Giridhar, Noorjahan and our other orbit shifters share their stories and guide us towards making "that" change in the universe!

Though physical classes are yet to open, we do see a shimmer of light that things may get back from "virtual" to "real" soon.
