Education access and learning opportunities
Helping children and young people stay in learning when money, distance or circumstance gets in the way.
ProposedUttar Pradesh, India
Dignity first. Learning for every child. Opportunity for every family.
The Prabhat Tiwari Foundation is a new, people-first initiative working towards education, digital skills and community development in Uttar Pradesh — openly, carefully, and with the communities it serves.
Why we exist
Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not.
In towns and villages across Uttar Pradesh, children are curious, parents are ambitious for them, and young people are ready to work hard. What is often missing is not ability but access — to books, to a quiet place to learn, to someone who can explain, to the skills a changing world now asks for.
The foundation exists to help close that gap in small, practical, accountable ways: listening first, working alongside families, schools and local groups, and reporting honestly on what we do and what we learn.
Dignity
People are partners, never props. No one should feel smaller for having asked for help.
Inclusion
Support based on need — regardless of caste, religion, gender, age, disability or background.
Transparency
We publish what we do, what it costs and what we have learned, including mistakes.
Accountability
We measure honestly and we answer questions openly.
Our focus
Where we intend to work
Eight focus areas, with education at the centre. Each is a proposed area of work — nothing below describes a programme that is already running.
Books, learning materials and school supplies
Making sure the basic tools of learning — books, notebooks, stationery — are not the reason a child stops.
Proposed
Digital literacy and access to technology
Practical, patient help with phones, computers and the internet — for learning, work and staying safe online.
Proposed
Learning support for children from financially disadvantaged households
After-school help, mentoring and encouragement for children who don't have support at home.
Proposed
Community development
Supporting communities to identify their own priorities and act on them together.
Proposed
Livelihood skills and employment-oriented learning
Practical skills and honest guidance that help young people move towards decent work.
