NanubhaiEducationFoundationBBL

Y2Y BBL Nanubhai Education Foundation

 

 

Y2Y invited the Nanubhai Education Foundation (NEF) for a presentation at the World Bank. 50% of India children aged 6-18 do not go to school. The mission of NEF is to improve the quality of education in under-funded public schools in rural India.

 

Over the past decade, India has enjoyed tremendous economic growth. However, the bulk of these opportunities have been reserved for graduates of private schools in urban areas. Rural India is being left behind.  In order to help create a brighter future for all of India, Nanubhai strives to close the urban/rural education gap.  Founded in 2004, Nanubhai provides schools with American exchange teachers, intensive English language programs, and access to computers to help prepare students for the global economy. Nanubhai's ultimate goal is to improve rural education throughout India.  This year, Nanubhai will send 9 American teachers to live and teach in India for a full year.  Operating in 4 different schools, its programs will impact a total of 8,000 students in 2009.  The results of NEF's efforts are quite encouraging: in its pilot school, graduation rates increased from 25 to 75% over four years.
