Opening Doors to Learning & Opportunity
We envision a world where every child can walk through open doors of learning and opportunity, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Education Mortality
A Critical Reality in India's Education System
Just like infant or maternal mortality, education mortality reveals a harsh truth — many children are lost along the journey of learning. Social and economic barriers continue to decide who gets access, who drops out, and who feels left behind. For some, education is out of reach; for others, it loses meaning. In the worst cases, it becomes a source of despair instead of hope.
