Community Learning Centers

Our CLCs focus on augmenting the children’s schooling and help bridge any existing learning gaps to prepare them for higher education.As such, we never aim to entirely replace education in schools, but only supplement it. We focus on getting the children involved with sports and reading, among a lot of other extra-curricular activities.Through these centres, our objective is to provide a well-rounded environment for our children and help them discover more about their interests and strengths.

Inspiration Home

Our Inspiration Home for underprivileged children provide them with the food, shelter, and clothing they need alongside ensuring their educational and healthcare requirements are met.The home has 3 bedrooms and a toilet alongside two halls and a spacious kitchen and store room. The children have closets to store their belongings in as well as the necessary household items. In the evenings, the open hall inside the home is used for the children’s tuition classes.

Social Enterprise

We collaborate with farmer collectives and supply organic products to major corporations by working hand-in-hand with their CSR initiatives in an effort to boost social enterprise.As such, we bridge the gap in the market between underprivileged community collectives and corporate companies, tying the former’s produce to the latter’s requirements. We work with various CSR initiatives and run schemes under which we aim to align the communities work with the wellness goals of your employees.

OUR SUPPORT

As a volunteer-driven not-for-profit organization, Yashoda Foundation provides immense scope for impactful and fulfilling work

Donate Time

The time volunteers spend with the children means the world to them. They are very fond of having visitors over and enjoy every moment they get to spend with them.

It would be great to have volunteers who would enjoy -

Engaging the children in conversation and discussion
Spending time playing with them - be it a sport or a game
Watching movies with them or reading a book to them
Conducting a storytelling session that would engross the children

Donate in kind

Supporting children takes a lot of love as well as a lot of stuff! You could always donate clothes, groceries, books, or other such lifestyle items to help with the children’s upkeep.

Groceries for the children: By providing us with our monthly groceries, you can help us ensure that the children are never wanting for sumptuous and nutritious meals.
Support a child: You could choose to intervene here by paying for their health and living expenses while also contributing to their livelihood and upkeep
Other amenities: Clothes, books, toys, musical instruments, are just a few among many things

Donate skills

If you’re good at something, do share it with our children. Be it art, music, sport, or even homework tutoring, our children would love to interact with you and learn from you.

We would love to have more volunteers who could take some time to -

Come down and help our children read and finish their homework. This would greatly improve their literacy.
Come over in groups and get the children involved in a sport or a form of physical activity
Involve the children in community activities. These could involve clean-up drives, or visits to hospitals or homes for the aged, or even college festivals
Help us organize a day out for the children to play, relax, and unwind.
Teach the children some general life skills.

I have known Yashoda Foundation since 2018. They are an awesome team with beautiful work. I personally could relate to their work and the importance of education for underprivileged. Yashoda foundation comes up with innovative ways to make the organization self-sustainable. One of them was using their farm effectively for organizing events for corporates. All the best to team Yashoda Foundation
