Our Causes
Education
Our main goal is to improve the quality of education and upgrade the living standard of people in India from rural, underprivileged communities; providing an equal opportunity to learn, without the discrimination based on caste, class, gender, or religion in an environment of love and care and with appropriate facilities conducive to joyful learning.
Challenges in Rural Education
- Financial Constraints: Low incomes often prioritize work over education, particularly higher education, which can involve costly relocation.
- Lack of Faculty and Infrastructure: Rural schools lack essential resources like well-equipped classrooms and qualified teachers, leading to a decline in educational quality.
- Lack of Proper Guidance: Students in remote areas lack access to proper coaching and guidance, hindering their educational progress.
- Gender Inequality: Gender disparities persist, with girls often facing restricted access to education and limited opportunities for higher learning and employment.
- Digital Divide: Rural communities lack access to digital educational tools due to poor internet connectivity and limited technology resources. Through Educating young minds, efforts are being made to reduce the incidence of child marriage, child labor, child abuse, human trafficking, and domestic violence, with the goal of uplifting underprivileged communities from their current state of backwardness and illiteracy.
