Education is the single biggest force that will help drive India forward and Umang Foundation addresses this space actively. While the need for education support is at many levels, Umang provides children with the basic materials to enable education to those already in schools and takes it to the next level by sponsoring the of education of those who cannot afford it. Impact of Umang Foundation's approach: Umang Foundation has been successful in bringing down the number of drop outs which were witnessed due to non-availability of resources post its initiative Promote Education – ‘ek kadam ujjwal bhavishya ki aur’. This has encouraged donors and resulted in the continued progressive distribution trend of Umang Foundation. The Mumbai Marathon fundraising initiative is a great opportunity to do your bit to Indian education. I urge you to support Umang and make this initiative a success. Thank you! P.S. - Umang Foundation is a registered Public Charitable Trust and active for almost 6 years now. It was started by three IT Professionals in July 2008, who believe “there’s more to life” beyond office and home. For more, please visit http://www.umangfoundation.org/
