Focus Areas: Quality Education | Skills Development | Career Guidance

VIDYA-SETU addresses the crisis of educational inequity by providing comprehensive support to children and youth from marginalized communities. We work with first-generation learners who face multiple barriers to education—from lack of family support and resources to poor-quality government schools and unclear pathways from education to employment.

Our intervention model combines foundational learning support with digital education, career counseling, and mentoring to ensure students not only stay in school but also develop the competencies and confidence needed for success in higher education or the workforce.

• First-generation learners with no family history of formal education

• School dropouts and out-of-school youth seeking second chances
