Emboldening Indian Youth

Emboldening the Youth is a nonprofit organization that serves children in English, in remote villages, orphanages, and schools across India. They are working on expanding to ten districts across India, including in the ten major cities of Chennai, Lucknow, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Patna, Trichy, and Kerala. They are partnering with established, nationally recognized nonprofits, such as eVidyaloka, Children of India Foundation, Asha Mumbai, Bhumi India, Visamo Kids Foundation, and Lokmanya Public Charitable Trust, to lead classes in English, to improve literacy rates in uneducated and underserved schools across rural areas in India.

The founder, Anish Shekar, recognized the dire importance of education through his visits to India as a child. He witnessed firsthand how rural areas in his parents’ village in Bangalore were stricken with poverty, poor sanitation, and practically nonexistent education. He vowed to make a difference in his community and give back to the village that cared for him as a child, starting his efforts in Bangalore and eventually working to expand to nine other cities across India.
