Summary

Ignite Shelter, inspired by Bhumi, addresses the care gap in shelter homes due to high child-to-warden ratios by mobilizing young volunteers. They partner with shelters to provide weekend teaching sessions with a 1:5 volunteer-to-child ratio. Besides conventional education, it offers holistic subjects like Robotics and Arts. The initiative also cultivates leadership and aims to provide underprivileged children with sustainable skills and education.
