We are a non-profit organisation seeking to end educational discrimination against underprivileged children and socio-economic discrimination against educated women. Our methodology is two-fold:
Help female college graduates attain meaningful employment through teaching-training.
Enable lower-income children to access quality after-school education to keep up with their privileged peers.
Women Impacted
Children Impacted
Women from lower socio-economic backgrounds swim against the tide - juggling household work with education, resisting cultural norms, and working twice as hard as most men - to obtain a college degree. Yet, the majority of these women are relegated to performing unpaid household work or domestic work in others' homes.
Meanwhile, children from the same background - many of them first-generation learners - struggle to attend and benefit from school, and continue to fall behind academically and intellectually.
Our dipstick survey discovered that 77% of female college graduates in low-income areas spend all their time on unpaid domestic work. Their top three ambitions are to become financially independent, support their children's education, and receive their family's respect.
No social capital. Minimal economic means. Low confidence. The result? Unused college degrees and unfulfilled ambitions. With the right resources and support, women learn that their dreams need not stop with college and that they can become agents of social change.
A child without education is a child stuck in the vicious cycle of generational poverty. An underprivileged child does not have resources like up-to-date books, tuition classes, and gadgets. They need the undivided attention and expert help of a tutor to keep up at school.
Studies show that an investment in foundational learning in India can lead to gains in GDP by as much as 7.39 percent. Since the future of the country depends on it, we need to do everything we can to provide our children with learning facilities that are fun and effective.
We, at Shraddha Maanu Foundation, aim to provide every underprivileged child joyful learning from dependable teachers; and every underprivileged educated woman the agency and empowerment to gain pride from her work.
We aspire to mainstream education further through the VIPASANA microcenters and Edupreneur Support Centers (ESC) to positively impact the lives of 500 women and 5000 children by 2025.
