    This fundraiser will benefit

    Low-income children

    from Pune, Maharashtra

Tax benefits for INR donations will be issued by Excelearn SeekhShala Foundation

50%.
That’s the current employability rate in India according to the India Skills Report. After 18 years of formal education, a student's chance of landing a job is no better than flipping a coin. For children like Sarah, this is a harsh reality.

Sarah is in the 8th grade and has 11 siblings. Her father works as a watchman, earning ₹10,000 a month to support the entire family. Her parents sent her to school with the hope that education would be her pathway to a brighter future. But right now, Sarah’s future is a gamble—a coin toss between success and continued poverty.


What’s causing this?


Our schools are not preparing children for the future. Despite a rapidly evolving world, education in India is still rooted in rote memorization, outdated curricula, and limited real-world application. These schools are preparing students for jobs that no longer exist, leaving children like Sarah unprepared for the workforce.

Micro Leaps: A New Vision for Education

At Micro Leaps, we are reimagining education to change outcomes for students like Sarah. We have launched an afterschool centre in Pune focused on equipping children with the skills they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world. Our afterschool model provides personalised support to 30 students.

Our afterschool program engages students in hands-on learning activities across Maths, English, Robotics, and Art projects. These sessions are designed not only to reinforce their academic learning but also to encourage creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Each subject is approached through project-based learning, where students apply their knowledge in real-world contexts, building practical skills that go beyond the textbook.

Our Unique Learning Model

Our differentiated model is built on four pillars that ensure students not only excel academically but are also prepared for the future workforce:


How You Can Help: Empower Sarah’s Future
To bring this vision to life and help students like Sarah, we need your support.
Where will your contribution go?
  • Personalized Curriculum: Your donation will help us provide a curriculum that connects learning to students' personal contexts and future aspirations.
  • Tech Integrated Pedagogy: We’ll implement engaging, research-backed pedagogy that fosters creativity and holistic development.
  • Financial Literacy & 21st century Skills: Contributions will go toward creating programs that teach students the financial and life skills they need to succeed in the real world.
  • Ongoing Monitoring & Support: We will continuously monitor each child’s progress, offering personalized guidance to ensure no one falls behind.


It Takes a Village—Help Us Build It

At Micro Leaps, we believe in creating a community that supports every child’s potential, regardless of their background. For children like Sarah, education should not be a gamble—it should be a guarantee of a brighter future.
By supporting Micro Leaps, you’re investing in a future where every child has the opportunity to succeed, not by chance, but by design. We believe that together, we can ensure Sarah and other students are empowered to create the futures they deserve.
