Educate 32000 underserved children in India

One of every five children in the world lives in India.

Yet 52 million of them survive on less than $2.15 a day. Without bold intervention, it would take seven generations for their family to break the cycle of poverty.

How Do We Rewrite Their Story?

For us, it starts with YOU.

Thanks to your unwavering belief in the power of people and education, Teach For India’s leadership movement is reaching new heights in 2025—from the front of the classroom to the halls of government.

Together, we are not just delivering academic results. We are building a pipeline of courageous leaders transforming India’s education system from within.

Unstoppable Progress in Classrooms

This school year, 33,500 students across 220+ schools in low-income communities learnt with confidence, curiosity, and joy. Starting from a place of love, not fear.

These are students who once struggled to envision a future beyond survival—now they are dreaming bigger, learning better:

• 88% passed their 10th Grade Board Exams on the first attempt, a key academic milestone of standardized testing
  
  
• 60% earned First Class Distinction
  
  
• 88% are functionally literate in English, significantly uplifting their future earning potential
  
  
• 72% are at grade-level proficiency in Math,

Behind each number is a story—not just of academic progress, but of a child who now sees their own potential and the power to change their future.

Unleashing Student Leadership

Our students aren’t just learning; they’re leading. Through the Student Vision Scale (SVS)—which nurtures the ability to Lead Self, Lead Others, and Lead India—our children are growing into community changemakers:

• Riya, a student leader in our Kids Education Revolution, mobilized 50 peers to launch 25 village libraries in rural Uttarakhand. She believes reading can unite cultures and foster love.
  
  
• Abdul, once unsure that college was for “people like him,” found a mentor in his TFI Fellow. Today, he’s a proud university graduate who has returned as a TFI Fellow to inspire the next generation.

50+ former students have now returned as TFI Fellows, bringing the movement full circle and reinforcing an unbreakable loop of leadership.

Driving Systemic Impact at Scale

The Fellowship continues to inspire a lifelong commitment to justice and equity. In our most recent cohort, 95% of 367 Fellows chose to stay in the education or social impact sector after graduation—joining a powerful network of 5,500+ Alumni transforming systems across India.

Together, they are creating ripple effects that uplift the lives of 50 million children:

• 23+ states influenced through policy and governance leadership
  
  
• 160+ social ventures launched, solving problems in the toughest domains like:
  
  
• Shiksharth in Sukma, Chhattisgarh—reopening 93 schools and bringing 6,000 out-of-school children back into learning in one of India’s most conflict-affected regions
  
  
• 46 Fellowships incubated through TFIx, reaching remote corners across 18 states like: Mera Gaon Meri Dunia (My Village, My World) or Neev Ki Eenth (The Founding Brick) that are bridging the urban and rural divide.

TFI is not just building classrooms—it’s building a nation-wide talent pipeline for change, where Fellows and students alike unleash their voice, dismantle systemic barriers, and uplift communities for generations to come.

Amplifying Our Voice

Teach For India's impact is being recognized far beyond the classroom.

• Child Rights Champion: Teach For India was honored with the State Commission for Protection of Child Rights Award by the Maharashtra State Commission, recognizing our steadfast commitment to child safety and our innovative, on-the-ground initiatives to protect and empower children in underserved communities.
  
  
• Academic Recognition in Leadership: In a landmark step, St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai has launched a pilot program to accredit the Teach For India Fellowship. The two transformative years Fellows spend leading students in low-income classrooms will now count toward a Master’s degree in Transformational Leadership—a testament to the Fellowship’s rigor, real-world relevance, and lasting impact.

The Power of YOU

None of this is possible without you.

Your generosity fuels the courage of our Fellows, the growth of our Alumni movement, and the dreams of every child they serve.

We’ve come a long way—and there’s so much more ahead. But with your continued belief and partnership, we’re confident:

We can create a world where every child in India can realize their full potential—no matter their background.

Because of you, India’s education story is being rewritten—one leader, one classroom, one community at a time. Thank you for being an irreplaceable part of this journey.
