Every child deserves a chance to learn, a chance to dream, and the best shot at life!

We believe human talent is evenly distributed across socioeconomic demographics; opportunity to develop that talent is not. The Siri Foundation aims to help bridge the gap. We provide opportunities for life-changing education to students in rural India, and require their accountability and mentorship back to others in their communities in exchange. We believe in the ‘hand up’ and not ‘hand-out’ charitable model, and welcome all who share our beliefs in fundamental human dignity, equality of opportunity and social accountability to join us in our joyful work.

We have used recyclable material like scrap tires, cable & oil drums etc. to create these beautiful playscapes. The adaptive reuse of scrap is both economical and sustainable with a start to end construction timeline of less than 4 weeks and cost under Rs.2.5 Lakhs . Read more ...
