Education

Access to quality education and skill development is essential for breaking the cycle of poverty and building resilient communities. In the remote regions of Uttarakhand, organisations like Aarohi and Arogya are working to provide children and young adults with the knowledge, tools, and opportunities they need to shape a better future. From early childhood education to vocational training and adolescent health awareness, these initiatives ensure that learning goes beyond textbooks, equipping individuals with life skills, career opportunities and critical health knowledge.
