At Vipasana, no child gets left behind.
Every child has the right to access quality education
One of the greatest disadvantages that Indian children from lower socio-economic backgrounds suffer is the inaccessibility to quality education, one that focuses on the overall development of the child as an individual. Holistic development is essential to ensure improved student outcomes, resilience to life's challenges and to strengthen community involvement.
Vipasana is our after school program aimed at crafting happy & effective classrooms for primary school children at the microcenters located in low income urban, peri-urban and rural schools. Our goal is to build a holistic education ecosystem that helps groom the nation builders of tomorrow transforming them from "passive listeners to active learners."
Our impact thus far
Since 2018, Shraddha Maanu Foundation has impacted the lives of 700 + underprivileged children across Tamil Nadu, many of them first-generation learners. A curriculum focused on Foundational Literacy & Numeracy (FLN) , that incorporates child centric principles, nurtures the cognitive, moral, emotional, imaginative, social or spiritual abilities of a child has lead to providing them with a holistic and multidisciplinary learning environment. A happy and nurturing environment,with an exposure to values is essential in building a positive self-image, resilience and self-esteem in children.
