THE BACKGROUND
30% of students in rural Haryana drop out before completing Class 10.
25% of Class 5 children can read a Grade 2-level textbook.
Across rural India, children are being left behind. Not due to lack of potential, but due to lack of access. In villages like Kheowali in Haryana, poor educational infrastructure, limited exposure, and intergenerational poverty create a cycle of disadvantage. When COVID-19 hit, this gap only widened.
In this context, the JIVAM Foundation was born as a movement for equal opportunity in rural India.
The result is a generation of bright, capable children being systematically left behind. Solving this requires an integrated, long-term, community-based approach for holistic empowerment.
THE SOLUTION
JIVAM Foundation was founded in September 2020 by Isha Godara, a finance graduate and management consultant who returned to her ancestral village during the pandemic. Disturbed by the sight of children cut off from learning, she began teaching a handful of them in her backyard. That spark soon ignited a movement. Today, JIVAM Foundation operates a full-fledged Learning and Leadership Centre in Kheowali village, Sirsa, Haryana.
Currently, 300 students between Grades 3-10 attend classes at the centre. Classes are conducted 6 days a week from 4:30 to 6 pm. These students attend government schools in the morning. Students are taught public speaking, STEM-based courses, computer classes etc. We have a full-fledged computer lab, which was sponsored by one of our donors.

ABOUT ME
My name is Shagun Badhwar. I am 16-years-old and a Grade 11 student at DPS Dwarka.
I have undertaken this campaign because I think it is incredible to impact the life of a child. It is shocking to know that 30% of the children in rural Haryana drop out of school before Grade 10. This results in them joining work at such a young age. Some of them work as daily-wage earners while others work at farms, homes, and hotels. This leaves the family in a vicious cycle of poverty. The parents of these children are uneducated and do not know the importance of education.
The after-school classes conducted by JIVAM Foundation ensure that children get equipped with relevant skills for today's world. The cost of providing after-school programs to a child for a year is just INR 7000 and will completely transform their lives.
Please support my campaign, as a simple act of kindness can have a profound impact on a student's life. Let us together lend a helping hand and support these children.
