About Unnati Udaan Foundation
Unnati Udaan Foundation is a non-governmental, non-profit organization committed to the belief that education is the most powerful tool for social change. Established with the aim of providing free, quality education to children from underprivileged backgrounds, the foundation works to ensure that no child’s future is limited by their circumstances.
We believe that every child has the right to dream, to learn, and to succeed—and it is our mission to create the pathways that make those dreams achievable. In a country where millions of children still lack access to basic educational resources, Unnati Udaan Foundation serves as a beacon of hope, working at the grassroots level to close the education gap and create meaningful opportunities for children who need them the most.
Our programs are designed not only to educate but to empower. We go beyond the traditional classroom by offering:
Academic support and remedial classes to help children meet learning milestones.
Value-based education that nurtures compassion, discipline, and self-awareness.
Extracurricular activities, including arts, sports, and creative workshops, to support holistic development.
Mentorship and life-skills training to prepare children for real-world challenges.
Community engagement initiatives to involve parents and guardians in the educational journey.
At Unnati Udaan, we work closely with volunteers, educators, and supporters to create safe, inclusive, and joyful learning environments. Whether it’s through setting up informal learning centers, offering digital education tools, or simply providing the encouragement a child needs to stay in school, our efforts are guided by empathy, equity, and excellence.
We are proud to have touched the lives of hundreds of children, helping them take their first steps toward a brighter, more independent future. Each success story is a testament to what is possible when education is made accessible, free of cost, and tailored to a child’s unique needs and dreams.
“Unnati” means progress, and “Udaan” means flight. Together, they reflect our core vision—to help every child rise, soar, and achieve their true potential.
We invite you to join us in our mission. Whether through time, resources, or support, you can make a lasting difference. Because when we educate a child, we empower a family, strengthen a community, and build a better tomorrow.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every child, regardless of their background, has the freedom and opportunity to learn, grow, and achieve their dreams. Our vision is to build a society where:
- Education is a right, not a privilege.
- No child is left behind due to poverty, gender, or location.
- Every community is empowered through the education of its children.
- Children evolve into socially aware, independent, and compassionate individuals capable of transforming their families and communities.
In essence, we aim to create a future where education becomes the launchpad for every child’s “Udaan”—their flight toward a better tomorrow.
Our Mission
The mission of Unnati Udaan Foundation is to create a world where education is not a privilege reserved for the few, but a fundamental right for every child. We are committed to offering free, inclusive, and quality education to underprivileged children who face systemic barriers due to poverty, social inequality, or geographic isolation. Our aim is to foster not just academic learning, but to support the all-round development of each child—intellectually, emotionally, socially, and morally. We work to build a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to explore their talents, gain confidence, and develop into individuals capable of shaping their own futures. Every initiative we undertake is guided by the belief that education is the key that unlocks opportunity and creates lasting, generational change.
Our Core Values
The foundation of our work rests on deep values that guide every decision and action we take. We are driven by the principle of equity, believing that every child deserves the same opportunities to grow, regardless of where they come from. Our work is rooted in empathy, as we strive to understand the unique challenges faced by every child and community we serve. We uphold a strong sense of integrity, ensuring that our work is transparent, honest, and accountable to all our stakeholders. Excellence is not just a goal but a mindset—we are always seeking to improve, learn, and deliver impactful programs. We believe in empowerment, not just in educating children, but in enabling families and communities to take charge of their futures. And at the heart of our efforts is collaboration, as we recognize that meaningful change is possible only when we work together—across sectors, backgrounds, and boundaries.
Our History and Present
Unnati Udaan Foundation was born from a heartfelt realization—that countless children in India are still denied their basic right to education. What began as a modest effort by a few dedicated individuals to teach children living in marginalized communities soon evolved into a larger movement rooted in compassion, determination, and the belief that education can transform lives. In our early days, we organized informal teaching sessions under trees, in makeshift shelters, and wherever children could gather to learn. These humble beginnings gave us an intimate understanding of the barriers that prevent children from accessing formal education—whether it was financial hardship, gender discrimination, lack of awareness, or systemic neglect.
Over time, the foundation grew, not just in numbers, but in vision and structure. We established dedicated learning centers, formed partnerships with local communities, and designed programs tailored to the real and pressing needs of our students. Today, Unnati Udaan Foundation supports hundreds of children across various locations, offering not only academic instruction but also a safe, nurturing space for growth. Our classrooms are filled with curiosity, creativity, and resilience. We work closely with families to ensure that education is a shared responsibility and a collective aspiration. We also focus on holistic development, incorporating creative arts, life skills, and health awareness into our programs to ensure that children are not just educated but truly empowered.
While we are proud of how far we have come, we are even more committed to the journey ahead. With the continued support of our volunteers, educators, donors, and partners, we are building a movement—one that believes in the potential of every child and the power of education to uplift entire communities. At Unnati Udaan Foundation, we are not just teaching children to read and write; we are helping them take flight.
