We were born in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic crises, where we witnessed unprecedented disruption in school education across India. This limited learning opportunities for children, especially the underprivileged. The challenges urged us to look for solutions to facilitate lifelong learning opportunities for children: "शाळा बंद आहेत, पण शिक्षण चालु असुदे!" ; "The schools are shut, but let the learning continue (Asude!)" Asude Foundation programs are designed to effectively create holistic learning environment in government schools. Our flagship initiative, the North Star Program provides global citizens a unique volunteering platform to be the guiding light in the lives of underprivileged children.
