The Urgent Problem We Are Addressing

Rural primary education in India continues to face serious systemic gaps.

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.

Help Build a Strong Learning Foundation in Rural India

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.

The Learning Hub Model – Scalable and High-Impact

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.
