About Us


Why we do, what we do?

We actively monitor and support partner schools to drive measurable improvements in admissions, academic performance, and parent satisfaction. Our approach goes beyond immediate needs, focusing on long-term outcomes through continuous evaluation   and feedbacks.

In addition to learning support, we fund and facilitate the development of essential physical infrastructure such as girls’ toilets, libraries, and resilient classroom spaces to create safe and enabling learning  environments.

We also provide practical experiential learning kits, cultural tools, and sports equipment to encourage holistic development. All our efforts are aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4, promoting inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all.

Our Mission

Our mission is to improve the quality of free education in rural areas, to empower children from low income homes to excel in their education.

Our Goals

● Equal opportunity for all:

We try to reach children in remote places and provide them with an opportunity for quality education. We currently focus on UN Sustainable Development Goals #SDG4 – Quality Education.  By providing skilled teachers for subjects like Mathematics, English and Science, we not only help increase the admission to the schools, but also help the rest of the staff to focus on what they are trained to teach. This improves the results drastically thereby attracting more students to the school.

● Rural development:

While rural communities will benefit from better quality of free education, we also want to transform and empower communities in villages through participatory rural development. We aim to achieve this transformation by partnering with local communities, industry leaders, and social enterprises on high-impact initiatives focusing on health, sanitation, hygiene, and environmental awareness.

● Experiential learning:

Avakaasha encourages experiential learning in children; our focus is on active, hands-on discovery. We supply practical science toolkits and physical learning aids that step beyond traditional textbooks. Recognizing that active development is vital, we also provide comprehensive sports kits and encourage participation in physical activities to build teamwork, confidence, and health among rural students.

● Basic infrastructure:

We believe a safe, dignified environment is the absolute baseline for academic success. Avakaasha funds and builds essential structural upgrades required in rural public schools. Our infrastructure interventions focus heavily on building clean sanitation facilities, developing libraries, updating writing boards, and restoring classrooms to create secure, motivating learning environments.

Our Team

Avakaasha is run by a small team working remotely,  with a big support from volunteers and donors.
