Masoom

Masoom focuses on strengthening access to education for working youth and school dropouts to complete secondary education and gain pathways to skilling and livelihoods. Its mission guides it toward creating flexible learning opportunities, expanding community-based education models, and supporting students from learning to earning. Masoom aims to transform night schools and alternative learning spaces into vibrant, supportive environments that help learners build confidence, resilience, and a brighter future.

Major Interventions:

Night School Transformation: Masoom focuses on revitalizing government night schools that serve working adolescents and adults. The program strengthens infrastructure, improves classroom resources, enhances teaching practices, and supports academic delivery. It also provides nutritional support, library sessions, science practicals, and e-learning opportunities. Through close collaboration with headmasters, teachers, trustees, and alumni, the program nurtures better attendance, improved results, and greater motivation among learners.

Evening Learning Centers: It offers a flexible, community-driven education model for students who cannot attend regular or night schools. These centers operate in diverse formats, including hybrid models, grade-specific centers, and inclusive learning spaces for marginalized groups. The ELCs provide academic instruction, life skills, mentorship, and emotional support. They serve as a second-chance platform that allows learners to re-enter education, complete their board exams, and pursue meaningful opportunities.

Career Cell: Masoom bridges education and employability by offering career guidance, counseling, and access to short-term and long-term skilling programs. It supports students in identifying suitable career paths, securing scholarships, accessing vocational training, and preparing for employment. The unit also nurtures entrepreneurship by offering mentorship, business training, and seed support to aspiring entrepreneurs.

Tech on Wheels is Masoom's mobile digital literacy initiative. Through buses equipped with computers, trainers, and structured digital curricula, the program delivers essential technology skills directly to schools and communities. It promotes digital inclusion, strengthens future-ready abilities, and ensures that learners gain exposure to technology-driven opportunities.
