Theory of Change

More than 70 million youth in India live at or below the poverty line, with little access to healthcare or quality education, thus severely limiting their ability to aspire for a future that enables socio-economic progress. Less than 27% of them actually complete school. Around 30% of them cited economic factors and the inability to cope with education as primary reasons for dropping out of school. High dropout rates lead to unemployment or low-wage employment that perpetuates the intergenerational cycle of poverty. It is this lack of awareness and access to opportunity that perpetuates social and economic inequity that Antarang is solving.

Antarang Foundation is a registered Indian not-for-profit organization that enables adolescents and young adults to make the transition from education to employment. Antarang envisions a world where every young adult is productively, passionately, and positively engaged in a career of their choice. Our model focuses on the simple philosophy that young adults have an innate sense of agency once they know what and how to. We:
1. Build awareness of career opportunities
2. Build clear aspiration
3. Build employability skills and the ability to make informed career decisions
4. Provide access to career opportunities
