Swadha Foundation works towards providing education to youth and children belonging to vulnerable backgrounds through its result oriented program Kast Read morehuri. The objective of this programme is to encourage and counsel parents to send their children to higher-education schools and colleges and pursue education. It also encourages students with excellent performance to maintain levels of academic excellence while providing them with various opportunities such as grants, stipends and scholarships. Additionally, each beneficiary of the programme is also assigned a mentor to guide them in making informed judgments and choices during their education.


Issue

Of the 250 million youngsters in rural India, only 10% take the 12th standard exam. National Statistical Survey 2017 states that only 5% of rural boys and 2 % of rural girls graduate. In effect, a minuscule percentage of the population educate themselves. The ramifications of this can be imagined considering that India houses 40% of the world's youth population. Swadha Foundation ( www.swfn.org) is 13-year-old NGO based out of Bangalore addressing this massive problem with a skill deep approach.


Action

Swadha’s aim is to provide access to higher education as a focussed, result- oriented initiative. It creates rural champions who bring their family out of poverty sheerly by their grit and determination. Our beneficiary students are mostly first time graduates coming from families with a very low annual income. They are academically strong and possess a progressive personality. This is validated by our multi-layered zero discrimination selection process which selects 4% of applicants. Most importantly sixty percent of them are girls.

    Student from all strata have a right to education and opportunities. Today these are robbed for no reason of theirs. Swadha’s aim is to create an atmosphere to provide such access by running a focussed, result based initiative to ensure we create rural champions. These are not champions or sport but of education & that one which takes families out of poverty. We take one bright student in a family and use their grit & determination to take families out of poverty.
    The selection of students is a multi-pronged, bias-free process. It starts with identifying promising students from impoverished and vulnerable rural families eager for an education.
    After selecting students through a stringent selection process, we Educate, Enhance and Employ them which brings them out of the cycle of poverty.
