‘Catch them young, build them strong’, is the motto of the Ants2Giants team of The United Foundation.

Today, we stand proud to the testimony of fantastic results in exams.
These children come from below the poverty line families who can barely afford 3 meals a day let alone provide the support and guidance in terms of their education. Most of these kids go to government schools in the slum which are neither equipped with good teaching staff or the right infrastructure to help the child fare well in their academics. Poor English speaking skills, Language and Maths basics is common among students. Majority of the students drop-out of high school due to lack of support. The students are enthusiastic and have immense potential but have no means to learn. TUF’s Ants2Giants (A2G) initiative was kickstarted to ensure these students are assisted & given the necessary aid to ensure quality education is delivered. We are committed to change the educational system in place to make today’s students the leaders of tomorrow. The goal is to encourage them to complete their degrees and move out of slums.

It costs 52,000 INR per month to pay the teacher’s salaries & the rent of the centre.
To continue making this change, we need your support. Help us cover the tuition centre's cost for the year 2020. Come forward, contribute & empower children from marginalized communities.
