Sense Of Nature Foundation Education Program

Every Child Deserves
To Learn —
Poverty Is Not a Barrier

In the remote villages of Uttarakhand, thousands of children are forced to leave school simply because their families cannot afford books, uniforms, or fees. We stand beside those children — providing free education support so no dream goes unfinished.

What Is the Problem?

The Biggest Reason Children
Drop Out of Schools in the Hills — Poverty

In the mountain villages of Uttarakhand, most families survive on daily wages or small-scale farming — earning between ₹2,000 and ₹5,000 per month. Running a household on this income is itself a struggle. There is simply no money left for books, notebooks, school fees, or uniforms.

As a result, many children drop out by Class 6, 7, or 8 — girls pulled into household work, boys sent to farms or cities for labour. A dream ends before it ever begins.

We are here to change this. Our goal is simple — no child should have to leave school because their family cannot afford it.

How We Help

Our Education Programs

No loans, no conditions — just the opportunity to learn.

📚
Books & Learning Materials

At the start of every academic year, books, notebooks, pens, and geometry sets are given free of cost. No child should walk into school without learning materials.

Annual Distribution
🎒
Uniforms & School Bags

Many children stop attending school out of shame because they lack a uniform. We remove that barrier by providing uniforms and school bags to every child we support.

Start of Academic Year
🏫
Tutoring & Extra Classes

For children who are falling behind or have no access to private tutoring, we provide free after-school coaching and extra support classes.

3 Days per Week
🍱
Nutrition Support

A child cannot study on an empty stomach. For children in remote areas, we provide nutritious meals so they can focus on learning without hunger.

Every Day
👩‍💻
Digital Education

We teach basic smartphone and computer skills so children in the hills are not left behind in the digital world — preparing them for a future that increasingly requires these tools.

Monthly Workshops
👨‍👩‍👧
Parent Awareness

Education starts with the family. We conduct regular sessions for parents — explaining the importance of schooling, why girls' education matters, and how to access government benefits.

100% Free

Our field team visits villages directly — working with local government schools, anganwadi workers, and village leaders to identify children at risk. We do not wait for families to come to us.

Once identified, we visit the family home, verify the situation, explain our support, and enrol the child — usually within 2–4 weeks.

Field-first approach

We currently have active programs in 6 districts: Pauri Garhwal, Chamoli, Almora, Dehradun, Tehri Garhwal, and Uttarkashi. We are expanding to more districts every year.

If you know a family or village in another district that needs support, please contact us — we will do our best to reach them.
