Help Akanksha Foundation give quality education to every single child!

Disha Ahir's journey began at Akanksha’s PKGEMS School, where she dared to dream of becoming an air hostess. After completing her schooling in 2020, she embarked on a transformative two-year course in aviation hospitality. She realised her dream when she secured a coveted position as a cabin crew member for both domestic and international flights with Indigo Airlines. 

Speaking of her experience Disha, “Life comes with a lot of surprises and gifts that we never know. With this opportunity, I get to travel around the world, visit new cities that I never heard of, and explore new cultures and histories of the cities that I visit. It has been an incredible journey so far.”

Akanksha Foundation's journey

Recognising the need to work with government schools to achieve impact at a greater scale, Akanksha began the School Project in 2007 in collaboration with the Municipal Corporations of Mumbai and Pune. The project aims to create a scalable school model within the government system that drives wider systemic reform in education. Today, Akanksha’s network has grown to 26 schools in Mumbai, Pune, and Nagpur.

As of 2024, we run 26 Schools from kindergarten to grade ten, in Pune, Mumbai, and Nagpur impacting over +14,000 students and +4000 alumni.

Akanksha's Holistic Approach

Akanksha believes that all kids should get a complete education. This means they should be good at reading, math, and other basic subjects. They should also learn how to handle their feelings, work well with others, and pick up skills they'll need in the modern world. Parents need to be involved, and for schools to work closely with the community.

Though the infrastructure is provided by the municipal government, the teachers are hired by the Akanksha Foundation. Teacher’s salaries and program costs falls under the organization. We need support for running our school program.

To scale and uplift kids from underprivileged communities, we need regular support from our donors. Your monthly donations can go a long way in setting the future of India on a bright path. Help us. Donate monthly.
