s.o.a.c.h, began with a simple idea of enthusing poorly literate indigent children with a joy for learning and the power of skills. s.o.a.c.h today, reaches out to not just indigent children but also disadvantaged women and youth, particularly from rural India, helping them develop the skills they need to fulfil their potential in school, the workplace and the wider society.   

Rural India still lacks access to some very basic amenities, affecting their present but more importantly impacting their futures. Beyond the immediate, such as access to healthcare, safe drinking water and toilets for every home, other important markers such as adequate nutrition, learning and earning opportunities within accessible distances are missing.

In our journey to empower the less privileged, we have realised that it is only when we embrace social and cultural inclusion, as well as, equitable, sustainable practices that true human development can be achieved.
