According to a report published in 2022, Out of every 100 children who enroll in the grade 1, about 30 dropout before reaching grade 5 and more than 40 before reaching grade 8.

In India, learning poverty has shot up from 54 percent to 70 percent.

The World Bank defines learning poverty as the inability of children to attain minimum reading proficiency and correlates this with the proportion of children who are out of school.

The pandemic has only worsened the educational crisis.

UNESCO estimated the closure of schools to be approximately 82 weeks, impacting India’s 250 million children in 1.5 million schools.

According to a study by the Azim Premji University, 92 percent of children lost at least one specific language ability and 82 percent lost at least one mathematical ability during the lockdowns.

Inorder to overcome these challenges,

a bunch of young people have come together to start The Umang Foundation.

The Umang Foundation is a registered organization under the Societies Act 1980, and is actively working for children from slums and oppressed communities to strengthen their basics of education and academics and also help develop socio-emotional learning for a better chance in the future.

The Umang foundation has been working in the education sector for 9 Years with student leaders.

Through Umang Foundation, we provide-

before and after school programs beyond the traditional extracurricular and athletic programslearning opportunities for community members and  wellness support.

We now want to start a chain of community centers in different parts of India. We are currently teaching and running a community center in Yerwada, Pune with no resources. In order to bridge the educational gap and equip students with the right skill sets to thrive in the world, we will require your help.

We aim to raise funds of Rs.2,00,000/-

The funds will be utilized towards-

1. Gathering resources for our existing community center

2. Getting legal documentation of 12(A) and 80(G) done

3. Setting up an online learning platform for children with a simple curriculum designed by the organization

4. Run the administration of the organization.

We not only need your financial help but also help in the form of materialistic resources.

We are also open for partnership with organizations working in the education or development sector.
