Overview

Since inception, E&H Foundation has provided quality education to 30,000 children from Std 1-5 in 3 districts of UP – Farrukhabad, Kanpur, and Lucknow. Our Main core area of work is UP (while also being open to work in Mewat, Haryana and Bihar)

More than 50% of students being educated by E&H Foundation run-classes are young girls, helping bridge the gap between male and female literacy rate in UP and in India.

Independent studies show that the students have consistently attained grade-appropriate learning scoring 100 -150% higher marks compared to government school children and almost comparable to India’s best CBSE schools at ₹5000 per child per year, creating scaling-up potential.

Independent assessments show, children, receiving education through these models, perform at par with the best CBSE schools in India. E&H Foundation is aiming to reach 100,000 children by 2030 through expansion in more districts of Uttar Pradesh.

The impact created in the last academic year 2023-2024

2023-24 was a significant year for E&H Foundation where we directly implemented education program in 60 villages in 2 blocks of Farrukhabad district. Under this program we took three interventions as mentioned below

1 Back-to-School Campaign was run in 40 government schools in partnership with school teachers. This campaign engaged with 1586 children through rallies and door to door campaign and we managed to bring back 250 children back into schools.

2 We also helped 70 students with Vidhyadhan scholarships enabling them to continue their education without financial constraints

3 Under an innovative peer learning program, 140 student leaders taught 738 students ( 397 girls and 341boys) for one hour each on a voluntary basis promoting spirit of voluntarism and creating an environment of education within communities and villages

A lot of effort, training, workshops were organised by teams to achieve the above significant initiatives in a short time. We are very excited by these innovations and local community is enthused by these initiatives. We would like to further strengthen these initiatives and make them robust.

Through our partnership with Gyan Shala we provided education to 4,600 students in UP and Bihar. According to external assessments, 70% of our students achieve grade-appropriate learning. Average 75% attendance rate was achieved. There was enrolment of 49% girls in UP and 53% girls in Bihar.
