Introduction Of Us
Asaadharan Foundation Community
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.
Till now, we have reached 2,00,000 children, directly impacted 4000 children and trained 4800 teachers and principals to bring life back into their classrooms.
In the next five years, we aim to work with 37 schools, more than 30 community leaders and impact 15,000 and reach 3,00,000 children.

Accelerated Learning & Buddy Program
Children impacted : 1096In 2020, during the lockdown, Asaadharan launched an Accelerated Learning Program for out-of-school children and trained STP teachers to deliver it. We also introduced a Buddy Program to promote peer learning.
Cluster Program
Total no. of teachers :4 Total no. of studentsGiven the current global pandemic situation, we used the learning techniques established from our Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) to reach out to children in-person that had no access to learning resources (TV, phones, radios, etc.).
Asaadharan Fellowship Pilot

"Since you came, the children have been focusing on their studies and their marks have also improved, which makes us feel really good."

“I used to send Swayam to a private school in Baghoday. He didn’t learn anything there in a whole year. What he couldn’t grasp in a year, he completed here in just three months! From Hindi letters, small and capital ABCD, 1-2 in Hindi, to one-two in English he knows it all now. He just needs to learn how to read from books. My child has a deep sense of devotion toward all of you. I feel he might forget me but will always remember all of you and that’s how it suppose to be for mentors and teachers.”

“Before I used to feel small while telling people my children study in government schools, but now after your intervention I tell people with pride.”
