Who We Are
The Akanksha Foundation is a non-profit organization with a mission to build the largest network of innovative schools that empowers children to maximize their potential and that influences systemic reform.
For over 30 years, Akanksha has educated children from low-income communities across Mumbai and Pune - first, through our after-school centers, and since 2007, through the Akanksha Schools.
Today, Akanksha is one of the largest urban networks of public-private partnership schools of its kind in India. Currently, Akanksha’s network has grown to 26 schools across Mumbai, Pune, and Nagpur serving 13000 students. Akanksha aspires to ensure that every child from a low-income household can be educated on their way out of the cycle. The organization looks for equipping a very important part of our population with the skills required to further progress themselves, as well as the ones around them.
Akanksha, through our project ‘City As A Unit Of Change’ also collaborates with Municipal Corporation Schools and extends successful strategies for school transformation and positive impact on student learning outcomes across all government schools under the Municipal Corporation.
Looking ahead, we seek to expand our network of schools, share our effective practices and advocate for quality school reform for children across India.

The Akanksha Foundation is a non-profit organisation with a mission to build the largest network of innovative schools that empowers children to maximise their potential and that influences systemic reform.
For over 28 years, Akanksha has educated children from low-income communities across Mumbai and Pune - first, through our after-school centers, and since 2007, through the Akanksha Schools.
The Akanksha School model works within and beyond classrooms to maximize the potential of our children. We believe that a holistic education for all children includes excellence in core academic skills, the development of socio-emotional and 21st century skills and values, active partnership with parents and integration with the community.
Our school model is designed to set up strong teams and structures to see meaningful progress on the following three outcomes of education for our children:
|
| Locations | Mumbai City > Maharashtra (MH) |
| Causes | Education > School adoption |
| Beneficiary Group | Children |
| Beneficiary Description | Students, Parents, Community |
| Impact | Student Achievement
Akanksha schools use innovative pedagogy and curriculum to ensure all learners master core academic skills.
Youth Development
Through effective pedagogy and an array of co- and extracurricular programs, Akanksha schools seek to equip students with the character and socio-emotional skills that help them to be responsible and compassionate citizens of their communities, country and world.
Community Engagement
Akanksha schools create constructive partnerships between students, parents, schools, and community to ensure children are in a supportive and nurturing environment at school and at home.
Implementing this model in all our schools, we are continuously evaluating and evolving the model based on its effectiveness. As we see its impact in our schools, we aim to extend the model to other schools and organizations to fuel change at a systemic level. |
