We believe that when we reimagine learning for our students, we can pull their entire families out of poverty and address several allied Sustainable Development Goals.

Our story began 32 years ago with after-school centers. Today, Akanksha supports 14,000 students through the formal-school education program and 5,100 alumni from low-income backgrounds.

Our 26 innovative schools run in partnership with municipal corporations in Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur. We provide students from underserved communities a high-quality, holistic education at no cost. Our aim is to give students the knowledge, skills, and values they need to lead empowered lives, maximize their potential and break out of the cycle of poverty.

With a vision to scale our impact we codified our practices and, in 2022, joined forces with Nagpur Municipal Corporation and Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation to take these practices to nearly 200 public schools under 'Project Setu'. In the next five years, we aim to reach 500 public schools, and impact 5000 educators and 80,000 students through this initiative.

If you believe in the power of education, join us on this journey and be the change!
