Appeal

Born in 2015, iTeach serves nearly 8000 young people from the poorest families in Pune and Navi Mumbai, giving them a fighting chance at college, career and citizenship. We achieve this through two key programs: our community of 13 free and excellent schools, and a robust College to Career program. Read more about us and our students at www.iTeachSchools.org.

This year, we are raising funds for a very special fund - the Last Mile To College Fund. Over the years, with their intense effort and our support, many of our students have been getting admissions into prestigious universities such as Ashoka, KREA, Azim Premji and FLAME - with a hard-won 75% scholarship. This means they still need about 1-2L per year to make it there, which is a significant barrier between them and this life-changing opportunity.

Your contribution, small or big, will directly contribute towards getting the first child in a low-income family to attend college - and not just any college, but one of India's and the world's best. My students have fought every day, every second to get here - and no one deserves this fantastic higher education more than them. A ton of gratitude to you for reading this and considering contributing.
