• Help children learn
    unconventionally

  • Starting at level zero-
    Early Childhood
    Education

  • Education is too vast
    for a singular perspective-
    collaboration is essential

Millions of schools are struggling to support students during COVID and thousands are on the verge of shutting down. A country as big and populous as India needs the power and beauty of a lot,
A LOT of change makers!

But making change is difficult and that’s where we come in. Our mission is to create a movement of empowered educators to innovate and meaningfully make education better for children, now!!!

About Us

Who We Are?

Barefoot Edu Foundation is a grassroots organisation founded by a Young India Fellow, Teach for India Fellow and Harvard Graduate who trust in the potential of people. We believe that if we do not rapidly improve education, the largest youth population in the world may grow up to be the largest unemployable population in the world. A country as big and populous as India requires a lot of leaders at the grassroots that are empowered to meaningfully contribute to education right now.

Our Vision

Every child has a strong foundation to Think, Feel, Dream and Act
