Aakash Maindwal Foundation

Aakash Maindwal Foundation’s (AMF) core mission is to ignite the light of learning in underprivileged girls, enabling them to brighten their lives, fight against social evils, and foster greater social harmony within the community. It believes that education provides the only secure pathway to a better future, guiding these young women to recognize their individual interests, shape their own destinies, and become successful, contributing members of society.

Major Interventions:

Core Education Program: AMF operates an educational institute, "TAMANNA," which provides comprehensive support to deprived girl students who cannot pursue their studies due to socioeconomic challenges. The program focuses on encouraging dropouts to re-enter the education system, primarily through open schooling boards. Students receive daily instruction in various subjects from dedicated teachers, ensuring continuous and rigorous academic study. It ensures that all girls who pass their school-level examinations receive assistance in securing admission to institutions for graduation, committing to the continuation of their higher studies.

Skill and Vocational Training: AMF offers essential vocational training to the girls, equipping them with practical skills that directly improve their employability and independence. These training sessions are critical for bridging the gap between formal education and the demands of the modern workforce. It actively helps successful students find job placements in sectors such as call centers and retail outlets, providing them with immediate professional experience and financial self-reliance.

Holistic Development Initiatives: Beyond academics and job-oriented skills, the foundation conducts several activities to foster holistic personal development and social awareness. These initiatives include providing basic computer education in software and spoken English training, which are vital skills in the contemporary world. AMF also organizes activities focused on environmental awareness, health awareness, and excursions to local historical places, broadening the girls' perspectives and sense of belonging.
