Akshara strives to enable a quality school learning ecosystem through a continuous, holistic and comprehensive approach.
Over the last 15 years, Akshara has undertaken more than 30 interventions in the neighbouring 12 villages under various programs, including the Equal Access to Opportunities, Janeev, Khelghar, and Setu – all key interventions targeted towards personality development, literacy and numeracy, remedial classes among K12 students across government school in the valley. Besides education, Akshara has also served village women by providing livelihood opportunities.
The project aims to address this foundational gap in literacy & numeracy and also impart 21st-century skills to rural students. E.g. digital literacy, communication, creative thinking, and collaboration. This will not only help to bridge the gap but also prepare the students in rural schools for the challenges of the 21st century. A partnering government will implement the project.
Our target community is rural students studying in government schools. Most students come from underprivileged backgrounds and do not have a support system at home, while government schools require external support to deliver quality educational outcomes in the valley.
Akshara is working on improving the following in rural schools of Mulshi.
If it wasn't for Akshara I wouldn't have studied after the 10th grade, much less attended university. My parents’ mindset has completely changed now. They not only encourage my younger sister to study but also participate actively in her education.
