Mission statement: to uplift educational endeavors for rural children by introducing modern-day education and essential life skills.

Vision: transforming the educational landscape for the benefit of rural communities.

Learning beyond School:

“Learning Beyond School” is a heartfelt initiative by the KNA Foundation, created with a vision to ignite a lifelong passion for learning among school children. In the vibrant community of Subhaningar, many students are first-generation learners who face significant challenges. After completing grade 10, these young minds often drop out of school to contribute to their family’s income or because they find the academic demands overwhelming without adequate support at home.

Recognizing these struggles, “Learning Beyond School” steps in to bridge the gap. Through dedicated after-school coaching, the program reaches out to over 100 government school students, offering them a nurturing environment where they can explore their potential beyond the confines of their regular curriculum. The initiative provides essential resources and personalized guidance designed to spark curiosity and foster a love for learning.

Our goal is to empower these students not just with knowledge but with the confidence to pursue their dreams, ensuring they have the tools and support to thrive academically and personally. By cultivating a culture of self-learning, we hope to inspire these young learners to envision a brighter future and continue their educational journey with enthusiasm and resilience.
