Help Us Light Our Torch

1 million of India's youth turn 18 years of age every month. More than 50% of them do not complete high school. 93% of children under the age of 18 are employed in the often exploitative informal sector. Only 14.6% of graduates from the University of Mumbai were found employable.

Access to education is not a privilege, it’s a right. And yet, 61 million children are not in school, most of them girls. Educating children no matter where they are is one of the biggest steps we can take toward ending poverty.

From a very young age, my students were told that they could be whatever they want.
Today they are in their 10th grade and gearing up to make their first major decision in life. 

Back when I was in 10th I was privileged to be born to well educated parents who could guide me.
I was privileged to have educated relatives, family friends, neighbors and well wishers.

Today, my batch of 10th graders need your help.
