ABOUT ASAADHARAN
Asaadharan is a Nonprofit Organisation Transforming Education in Gujarat.
At Asaadharan Foundation, we believe every child deserves an equitable opportunity to attain holistic foundational education. Our work revolves around Whole School Transformation (WST) and the Asaadharan Teaching Fellowship Program, where we partner with government schools to strengthen systems from within, nurture teachers, empower student leadership, engage community and create joyful learning environments.
Our Edu-Leaders make learning joyful with stories, activities and curiosity. We support teachers, involve parents, and give children English support, remedial learning and leadership opportunities.
