Give the Gift of Education: Build a Computer Lab for Tribal Children in Maharashtra Imagine 12-year-old Aarti , a bright student in a remote tribal village of Maharashtra, who dreams of becoming a software engineer. But without access to computers or basic STEM education, her dreams are trapped within the walls of her ashram school. Across Maharashtra's tribal schools, thousands of children like Aarti face the same reality—a lack of infrastructure that keeps them from exploring their full potential. With your help, we can build computer labs in these schools, giving children the tools they need to dream big and create brighter futures. At Leadership For Equity , we are revolutionizing Computer Science (CS) education for tribal students in Maharashtra. By equipping them with essential 21st-century skills such as computational thinking, coding, and digital literacy, we are unlocking their potential to innovate and thrive in the digital age. Through initiatives like hands-on coding sessions, and immersive coding hackathons, we are sparking creativity and building confidence in students ready to embrace a tech-driven future. Take a look at our impactful initiatives here ! Today, we ask for your help to make a lasting impact on their future. This holiday season, make a meaningful difference.

Welcome to Panaah Communities , where we're dedicated to transforming the lives of over 700 children and teenagers from the low-income communities of Pune, India. With a compassionate team of 55 members across four centers, we commit every day to providing high-quality learning experiences in a nurturing environment. Take a look at some images from our centre here ! Our Center of Excellence has the capacity to accommodate 550 children, creating a hub of opportunity and learning. However, located 1.5 to 2 kilometers away from several densely populated areas, the center currently serves 220 children, with only 45-50 of them receiving transportation assistance. Many eager learners remain on our waitlist—over 100 are waiting specifically for transportation—leaving their potential untapped due to the simple challenge of reaching our facilities safely. Today, we ask for your help to change this. We aim to raise $12,000 to secure safe, reliable, and comfortable transportation for our students. By transitioning from precarious rickshaw rides to either a 17-seater mini bus or two 12-seater vans, we can not only ensure their safety but also expand our daily transport capacity from 45-50 children to 200. This crucial upgrade will allow us to move closer to our maximum capacity and reduce the waitlist significantly. Your Impact: $500 to Change Lives A donation of $500 helps us provide a full year of daily commutes for five children to the Center of Excellence . This is more than just a ride—it’s a lifeline to empowering education, consistent nourishment, and the chance to explore vast possibilities. Consider funding the journey for 5, 10, or 15 children with donations of $500, $1,000, or $2,000, and make a lasting difference in their lives. Join us in making a tangible difference. Your support doesn’t just fund a vehicle; it paves the way for futures filled with hope and opportunity. Let’s ensure that no child misses out on their education because of where they live. Together, we can eliminate this barrier, opening doors to a world of learning and growth for all our children at Panaah Communities.
