We work in the areas of education, child welfare, environmental conservation, and skill development. We have designed grassroots models to deliver education that have also directly fostered happy childhoods for children born into poverty, advanced community-led environmental conservation, and trained students with transformative skills. We work across India and are currently expanding our projects into developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

We have worked at the grassroots level in some of the most challenging environments, including difficult terrains and conflict-affected areas. We provided education and fostered happy childhoods for 372 children living in poverty. We delivered world-class skills training to 192 students, more than 50% of whom were women. We enabled 8,472 individuals and households to adopt sustainable practices, and led environmental conservation efforts such as lake restoration, clean-up drives, and forest plantation drives.

We invested 16,000+ hours in research in the first four years to design grassroots models that responded to the cultural, economic, and environmental realities of developing countries before raising funds to scale them. Then, over the next three years, we ran our pilot programs and the grassroots models we designed achieved 40% greater impact at approximately one-third of the cost compared to conventional development programs. We invested years in building our capacity to deliver programs at scale. We worked on optimising processes, refining workflows, and integrating AI to handle data-heavy tasks and large volumes of information. We have digitised 95% of our workspaces, with daily work now running on the cloud, allowing us to track operations and impact in real time.
