Project Chanakya

Slum Education in Delhi

Giving talented children the tools to stay in school.

The problem we are solving

Many talented children living in slum communities miss out on schooling because basic study materials are out of reach. A notebook, a pen or a school bag can be the difference between attending class and dropping out.

What Project Chanakya provides

Chanakya is our flagship educational initiative. We provide school kits, notebooks, stationery and backpacks so children can pursue their basic schooling, and our volunteers run weekend tutoring sessions. Read about Project Chanakya.

Where we work

Our field location is Kirti Nagar, around Kamla Nehru Camp and the Naraina Underpass in New Delhi, and our office is in Hari Nagar. Field sites are listed on the Contact page.
