ABOUT US

Edugrow bridges the gap between those who want to help and government school children so that through Edugrow, one can help reduce the problems in government schools. Through Edugrow, one can volunteer, donate, and explore the talents of government school children.

Edugrow is a registered NGO created by Sai Saket Bhandar, a high school student studying at Oakridge International School, Gachibowli. When we asked government school children what they would like to improve at their school, the children said that they wanted extracurriculars like taekwondo and art. Using Edugrow, people with the knowledge about various extracurriculars can teach government school students by sharing this knowledge. Not only can Edugrow provide extracurricular activities to government school students, by connecting people that want to help and government school students, Edugrow can benefit these students through guest lectures, programs to paint murals, donations, and a platform for them to share their talents.
