Challenge

Govandi faces extreme poverty, illiteracy, and poor health, worsened by Mumbai's largest dumping ground. Life expectancy is 20 years lower than nearby areas, and its Human Development Index ranks among the country's lowest. Fragile education foundations stem from widespread illiteracy and limited pre-primary access for children aged 3-5

Solution

In partnership with the local government, we will upgrade a school to ensure that every child has a strong foundation to think, feel, dream & drive meaningful change. Through: Pedagogical Shift: ACE will modernise outdated teaching using technology, project-based learning, & real-world problem-solving. Dedicated Academic Team: Equip educators with tools to create engaging & inclusive learning environments Fostering Community Engagement: Collaborating with parents to improve their participation

Long-Term Impact

ACE schools are dedicated to transforming education in communities like Govandi by addressing systemic challenges. By fostering 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving, we aim to shape leaders who drive economic growth and innovation. ACE schools promote equality and lifelong learning. By bridging the gap between schools, families, and communities, we inspire lasting change, enabling children to thrive and create a brighter, more inclusive future.
