Our Programs
1
Learn Labs
Tech-enabled after-school centers that build literacy, communication, and problem-solving skills. These centers nurture critical thinking and social responsibility in rural youth.
The Challenge
In rural Punjab, more than 40% of children in grades 3–5 cannot read at grade level, and rote learning continues to dominate classrooms. Leaving them vulnerable to migration pressures.
Our Approach
Learn Labs are dynamic, tech-enabled after-school hubs that make learning engaging and relevant. Through play-based and challenge-driven learning, children build reading fluency.
Community Model
Local women and men trained as Changemakers, lead these labs, fostering trusted spaces where children feel safe to learn, explore, and grow. This approach not only leaders and role models.

Each Sports Center consists of
