Who we are
Pratishtha Foundation is a grassroots non-profit organisation working to create impact through Education, Environment, Women Empowerment and animal welfare. We collaborate with government schools, conduct creative and need-based workshops, and support students and communities with holistic development initiatives. Aligned with the vision of the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan, our education efforts focus on improving learning outcomes, promoting inclusive and joyful learning, and supporting the goals of the National Education Policy.
Our work and its impact
At Pratishtha Foundation, we run Evening Learning Classes for underprivileged children who face challenges in regular schooling. Many of these children drop out or fall behind due to a lack of support at home or school. Our classes provide academic help in subjects like Hindi, English, Math, and Science, following the school syllabus, along with fun and activity-based learning methods to make education engaging.
We also focus on teaching digital literacy, giving children basic computer knowledge that helps them keep up in today’s digital world. In addition, we offer life skills and value education to help children develop confidence, communication skills, and awareness about their rights.
The impact on society is significant. Our work helps reduce school dropout rates and gives children a chance for a better future. By empowering marginalized children, especially girls, we promote gender equality and social inclusion. Educated children are more likely to contribute positively to their families and communities, breaking the cycle of poverty.
In this way, our evening classes play an important role in building a stronger, more educated, and inclusive society.
How we will utilise these books
The books raised through this fundraiser will serve as a valuable resource in setting up a library for Pratishtha Foundation Evening Classes. The storybooks and picture books will encourage regular reading habits, improve vocabulary, and spark imagination, making learning enjoyable and meaningful. Folk tales and age-appropriate stories will also help children learn important values in an engaging way.
By establishing this library, we aim to create an accessible learning space, nurturing curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love for reading among the children we work with.
