"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
- Nelson Mandela
Education is the key to addressing challenges like poverty, population growth, and unemployment. It equips them with the tools they need to become productive members of society, both at the local and global levels, and to escape the cycle of poverty.
The Right to Education Act in India makes schooling free and mandatory for 6–14-year-olds. However, for millions, this possibility remains inaccessible. UDISE+ 2023-24 (Economic Survey 2024-25) reports 1.9% primary dropouts, 5.2% upper primary dropouts, and 14.1% secondary school dropouts. In a nation with 24.8 crore students across 14.72 lakh schools, these numbers represent millions of young lives being denied their right to education.
At Educating Buddy, our goal to help each child learn, grow, and thrive. We want each child to achieve their best possible version that dreams freely and believes in themselves. We offer resources to make these dreams achievable. We work in classrooms by providing books and resources and offer personalised in person and online sessions to make learning accessible. We also help them become informed global citizens through our program, Global Bridge, that makes children aware about ongoing global issues, historical events and current affairs.

Education Buddy's focus is on initiatives that support children lacking stable learning environments at home. We offer classroom support, online classes, and distribute essential resources like books, stationery, and electronic gadgets. Our goal is to provide equal educational opportunities for all students through these efforts.
We are conducting physical classes in nearby schools to help the students overcome their academic challenges. These classes are generally conducted bi-weekly or weekly with a record of students being maintained.
To help the students understand about the ongoing environmental issues, we are conducting online educational lessons, as well as organising plantation drives.
We are conducting book, stationary and electronic gadget distribution drives to provide access to these resources to underprivilaged children.
We recognize the importance of both physical and mental health in creating an environment conducive to learning. To address these challenges, we arrange food drives, distribute blankets, and implement various other initiatives aimed at supporting the well-being of students.
