Educate 2000 Underprivileged Children In India

Dhanraj was an 8^th grader with big dreams. He was a bright kid and excelled in all his subjects at his state-run school in Coimbatore, in south India. But there was one issue: his grasp of English. No matter how well he did in his other subjects, English always baffled him.

That’s when U&I came into Dharmesh’s life and English tutoring began. At first, the progress was slow. But gradually Dhanraj began to make sense of the language, even becoming fluent in it.

The change was so remarkable that his mother decided that she wanted Dhanraj to pursue his studies in an English-medium school where the quality of instruction would be higher.

She was a single mother, a day laborer, and a daily wage earner. But she had big dreams for her son. She decided to take on another job – simply to fund her child’s education, to give him the opportunities she never had.

She told Dhanraj’s U&I tutor: "I got the confidence to send Dhanraj to a private school only because of how I saw him perform at his U&I classes. He is now so good at English. Thank you for giving my son this opportunity."

Dhanraj’s mother instinctively knew what statistics prove: knowledge of English means better jobs. Jobs that pay 400% more than jobs requiring only the local language. English was a game changer. A way from poverty to possibility.

At U&I, we’re about giving kids every chance to beat the odds. We tutor them. We mentor them. We believe in them.

Today, we reach out to 1500 kids in 30 cities across India. Kids like Dhanraj who have the talent and the ability. But just need someone who believes in the. Thankfully, Dhanraj has his mom and U&I behind him. We know he’ll go places.
