Spinning Wheel Leadership Foundation (SWLF) was started with a simple mission - to provide students with the life skills that are becoming crucial in the 21st century. Traditional education infrastructure is already overburdened by the requirements of basic scholastic education, and therefore incapable of providing these soft skills to students. Additionally, in rural settings, students have the added challenge of access to opportunities and resources. In this context SWLF works to train students in the 2 core components of life skills education. First, is the capacity or knowledge of basic digital, legal, environmental, financial and gender literacies, amongst others. The second is having the culture and opportunities to use these skills as collaborative, critical thinking leaders who are well-equipped problem solvers in their daily life and their immediate environment.
