Our Vision
For the first time, a crisis has given us the opportunity to re-imagine education, to bridge the inequity gap, and to enable a new form of learning that could be a true equalizer for all children. Our goal for this campaign is to raise funds for 10,000 devices for the students of Teach For India. With a number of organizations and individuals pledging to support our efforts to bridge the digital divide, over time, we hope to raise funds to put a gadget in the hands of every Student who needs one.

The reality of the communities we serve
Our most vulnerable children have lived through trauma. It began with a food crisis, homelessness and migration, before mutating into domestic violence, medical emergencies and unemployment. Their safe space of a classroom has been suddenly replaced by added responsibilities. More than 50% of the students that Teach For India serves do not have access to a stable internet connection or a smartphone. It’s a discomforting picture, to imagine students who were already academically behind their high-income peers fall further behind, perpetuating yet another generation of poverty. We are witnessing the impact, hourly and daily, that this crisis is having on low-income communities.

All funds raised through this campaign will be given to Teach for India and will be utilized towards devices and/or internet recharge of the devices in a manner that best serves the needs of our Students. NASSCOM Foundation will not deduct any fees from the donation. However the payment gateway may deduct a small amount (2-3% + GST) as its service charge.
