50% of children in Grade 5 cannot read a Grade 2 text
40% dropout rate in primary years
35% of children in Grade 1 cannot recognize numbers 1–9
These learning gaps push millions of children into the workforce without a basic educational foundation, limiting their future opportunities and slowing India’s long-term development.
Kishalay Foundation’s Learning Hubs provide essential early education, nutrition support, and community development programs for children in some of the most underserved regions of West Bengal. By sponsoring a Learning Hub, you directly empower children, teachers, and families in remote rural communities.
To address these issues, Kishalay Foundation creates Learning Hubs in key rural locations, providing direct, high-quality early education for children aged 2.5 to 10 years. Each Learning Hub serves as a center of excellence and engages with surrounding government primary schools through structured intervention programs.
