Learning Space Foundation

The Learning Space Foundation Logo has little dancing motifs in black on a lush sea green blurb painted in the Warli tradition; a monochromatic art form practised for over a thousand years by the native folk of the Thane-Palghar area of the Konkan region of Maharashtra in India.

The Warli Tribe, one of the prominent communities of this area, is considered to be the earliest settlers here, and their simplistic traditional art form was meant to depict everyday life scenes, on the mud walls of their village houses and in the courtyard, as a means of adorning their surrounding space.

In celebration of this art form and the native tribal community whose upliftment we strive for, the Learning Space Foundation borrows the motifs from Warli art to embellish its own space.

SarvaPrathamik Kaushalyapurna Shikshan

Due to the onset of the pandemic, rural children in India have been struggling to obtain a quality education. The Learning Space Foundation came up with an innovative solution to help bridge gaps during these unprecedented times.

Closely following the guidelines set in the National Education Policy 2020, a new model was created that has been introduced to about 500 early and primary learners in remotely located villages of the Thane and Palghar districts in Maharashtra; this model truly deserves to be seen, heard and eventually replicated. It also has an effective 360-degree assessment that grades a child in both cognitive and life skills.

In the last year the model has been revised and called 'SarvaPrathamik'. It is designed to be a wholesome developmental program where rural children can continue their educational journey beyond the Covid pandemic.

Having seen the efficacy of this programme on the holistic development of the learner, we have already started implementing it in 17 villages of Wada, Bhiwandi & Vikramgad in the Thane-Palghar area.

Educational, Menstrual Health & Nutrition Support for Girls in Rural High Schools of India

Adolescent girls in remote rural areas of Thane & Palghar Districts, in very financially weak condition are identified and supported with a complete package of educational, menstrual health, nutrition and hygiene over a period of 18-24 months. The project aims to completely transform the life-crisis situation of rural high school girls and lead them to a healthy & progressive life.

Our mission is to intervene in the life-crisis situation of rural high school girls to bridge gaps in their education & health-care & act as a catalyst empowering the rural girls with the power to live their dreams.

Complete support for education, health care and nutrition for a sustained period of 18 to 24 months for selected 125 high school girls coming from very severely financially challenged rural families with no education or health care support from families, which would help improve their health status and reduce school drop-out/absenteeism.
