"Give the Gift of Learning, Light Up a Child’s Future"

In the quiet village lanes of Basti, Uttar Pradesh, school bells ring — but not all children can answer them. Many are burdened by poverty, gender inequality, and lack of access to quality education. Despite this, their eyes still carry dreams — of becoming doctors, teachers, artists, leaders.

Meet Laxmi an 6-year-old from a Dalit family in rural Basti. Her parents are daily wage laborers. Until last year, she had never held a storybook. She struggled to write her name and could barely speak a full sentence in Hindi. School was a faraway concept.

But her life changed when Abhisek, a passionate Utthan Fellow, began working in her village. Through the Utthan Fellowship, Abhisek runs daily learning circles with local children. He brings colors, books, songs, and, most importantly — belief. Within months, Sakshi began to read aloud. She now teaches her younger brother the alphabet. Her confidence is blooming.

There are hundreds of Laxmi in Basti — bright minds waiting for a spark. And that spark is YOU.

The Utthan Fellowship, run by Bhartiya Mahila Evam Gramin Utthan Sansthan, supports trained youth leaders to bring excellent early education to underserved rural children. But we can’t do it alone.
