Storytelling Program

In July 2025, EmpowerIndiaEdu launched the initiation of the Storytelling Program at the welfare home for children.

Here, we funded the hiring of storytellers to advocate for the importance of education, share their experiences with education, and tell children’s stories to the kids to allow them to engage with reading and writing early.

Fund a Child’s Education

Help a child just like the one above receive funds, and supplies for their schooling. The approximate cost for each child’s education is $120. We will make sure to supply them with the other necessities as well.

Our unique strategy to combat illiteracy

Children: We use a hands-on approach to cultivate learning among those in the prime age to acquire life-long skills. Research suggests that children between 2 and 7 are most adept at learning. That is why we partner with primary schools and use our platform to provide children with learning while giving them the supplies necessary to succeed in an educational environment. By doing so, we can change the lives of thousands of children who had no previous access to education.

Adults: The root of the Illiteracy issue in India stems from the fact that adults in many households have little to no education. This is an issue that persists many households in rural India. EmpowerIndiaEdu will leverage influence and partnerships, to provide adults with classes, and training in order to cultivate an environment of education amongst their family.
