We recognize the vital role education plays in transforming rural communities and fostering sustainable development. However, we understand the unique challenges that hinder educational progress in rural areas, such as limited resources, teacher shortages, and geographical barriers.
​
Our mission is to bridge these gaps by implementing innovative solutions, promoting community engagement, and forging partnerships with stakeholders. Through our initiatives, we strive to provide equitable access to quality education, empower students with essential skills, and create a brighter future for rural upgrowth. Join us in our journey to empower education in rural communities and unlock the potential of every learner.
WHy Education?
Sustainable Development Goal 04: Ensuring Inclusive, Equitable and Quality Education and the Promotion of lifelong learning opportunities.
According to the recent PRABAND Samagra Shiksha report, 1.2 million students in India are out of school, most of them at the elementary level. Behind these figures,there are children and youth being denied not only a right, but opportunities: a fair chance to get a decent job, to escape poverty, to support their families, and to develop their communities. In the rural area region of Melghat, schools lack quality education whereas even families are also socio-economically backwards. As UNESCO's 'Education For All' campaign reiterates,"Education is the building block of every society."

Sadaya aims to uplift and empower the rural school forquality education by actively involving all children in the lifelong learning process. Sadaya ensures after school hours children are engaged in academic as well as non-academic activities like sports, indoor games, music, dance etc. Sadaya aims to break hindrances to the pursuit of higher education, technical skills and a professional career. Sadaya foundation works to encourage and transform each and every child to attain a certain standard of living through education.
How we do it?

Sadaya aims to create community centers in villages where children can engage with volunteers for academic and non-academic hours. We realize that the government school can strengthen the foundational literacy numeracy of children.
-
Create a school with an attractive atmosphere and improve the infrastructure of water and sanitation.
-
To build leaders of tomorrow from the community by providing life skill exposure and value-based enhancement sessions.
-
To create awareness among the parents for a child's career and increase community participation in school and village development.
The Sadaya Road Map outlines several initiatives and goals for the community. Here's a breakdown of the timeline:
