Learning that doesn’t stop at the school gate

We run after-school learning centres in Gurugram's urban villages, so that children who start behind don't stay behind.

What we run

Three programmes, six centres, one rule: nobody is turned away

Weekdays, 4–6 pm

The Reading Room

Small-group reading support for classes 3 to 8. Children arrive at their own level and leave a grade ahead, on average, within two terms.

Tue & Thu, 6–7:30 pm

Second Shift Maths

Evening maths for children who work or care for siblings during the day. Taught by volunteers, one tutor to every four students.

Rolling admissions

Back to School

We trace children who have dropped out, sit with their families, and walk them back through government school admission.

The empty peg

₹1,800 keeps one child at a desk for a year

That covers books, a satchel, and the tutor hours behind them. Tell us what you’d like to give and we’ll send payment details along with your 80G receipt.

Two hours a week

Most of our teaching is done by people with other jobs

You don’t need a teaching degree. You need to turn up on the same evening each week, because that consistency is the whole programme.
