The Nanubhai Education Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 dedicated to providing higher education access to financially vulnerable young women in rural India through sustainable and scalable programming. The Nanubhai Scholars program provides college scholarships, with over 125 graduates as of fall 2020 and 240 Scholars in college at any given time. The average graduate more than quadruples their family's income within two years of graduation. To date, we have pumped more than $240,000USD into local communities via graduate salaries.

I have been involved with Nanubhai for two years now, as both a Board Member as well as a Program Director. We work to try and strengthen rural public education in India through a variety of measures.

Looking at quality of education, as opposed to access to education, is a fairly new idea in rural India. Despite many challenges, we remain committed to research, outreach, and culturally appropriate methods of changing existing systems for the better.
