Issue

1. Educational Gaps: A significant number of students in rural and semi-urban areas lack access to quality education and basic skills. LEAF bridges this gap with innovative programs tailored for all learning levels. 2. Environmental Negligence: With growing environmental challenges, LEAF addresses awareness and actionable change among students and communities to foster sustainable practices. 3. Agricultural Challenges: Farmers face declining productivity and environmental degradation. LEAFLAT integrates modern technology with traditional methods to create a balanced, sustainable farming ecosystem. 4.

We aim to secure more CSR and donor support to scale our operations and reach underprivileged communities more effectively.
