It Enhances technology which includes Smart TV, internet access. Enabling digital SEL curricula exploration, engaging stories, and diverse resources.

Our work focuses on going beyond academics - to competencies that will enable girls to find their voice, become resilient and break the cycle of inequity.
Our program ‘acSELerate’ aims to strengthen the self, build strong relationships and build a strong community by a holistic approach. Our program provides structured support and inputs in the following ways:

- Empowering teachers through developmental workshops and mentoring
- Enabling teachers to translate this in the classroom through structured and age-specific social-emotional curriculum for students (3-15 years)
- Capacity building of school administrators to create conducive learning environments through SEL practices
= Engaging parents to nurture and bring positive home environments through SEL

Progress of both teachers and children is carefully documented and evaluated using a set of established tools and frameworks, the programs demonstrated that close to 66% of all children enrolled showed improvements in life skills scores over the baseline.
From 2016 we have impacted 1200 schools, 9000 teachers, 2,60,000 students and 1,51,000 parents with our acSELerate program.

During our school support we have noticed students facing issues for essential stationery such as notebooks, pens, pencils, and school bags. Without these students were not able to participate fully in classroom activities, take notes, or complete assignments.
This issue is hampering their ability to learn effectively. The absence of stationery and school bags also had a psychological impact on them. They were feeling embarrassed, stressed, and demotivated when they lacked the necessary tools for their education.

With our academic support we impacted 4000 Girl children from 30 KGBV schools of Telangana district. We could see students participation in classroom activities very actively

Most of our schools in rural Telangana, girls from low-income backgrounds face a myriad of challenges that hinder their academic progress and overall well-being. There's a critical need for menstrual health and hygiene awareness. Due to limited awareness, girls often miss school during their menstrual cycles, which further hampers their educational journey. This lack of awareness can also contribute to emotional imbalances, heightened stress, and anxiety.
We supported schools in addressing this critical challenge and breaking the cycle of taboo. We provided them with incinerators, sanitary napkins and deposit machines, very necessary resources along with awareness to ensure that these girls have a fair chance at a brighter future, unburdened by these obstacles.
We have Impacted 4000 Girl children by providing awareness and sanitary essentials to them and reduced absenteeism and improved concentration

One pressing issue is the lack of facilities for purified drinking water, leading to frequent student illnesses due to the consumption of unsafe water. This often results in a cycle of absenteeism, poor academic performance, and a general lack of interest in self-care.

The support we seek is aimed at addressing these critical challenges and breaking the cycle of adversity. Together, we can provide the necessary resources, awareness, and infrastructure to ensure that these girls have a fair chance at a brighter future, unburdened by these obstacles.
