Join Us in Empowering Children

At Nourishing Schools Foundation, we believe that every child has the potential to become a catalyst for positive change. Our innovative toolkit approach has impacted over 60,000 children across 230+ government schools in India, transforming educational experiences and fostering holistic development. By integrating essential life skills with academic learning, we enable students to thrive and address real-world challenges in nutrition, hygiene, and environmental stewardship.

Why Your Support Matters

The educational challenges in India, particularly in government schools, are daunting. Many students struggle with basic literacy and numeracy, which are foundational to further academic and vocational success. Our programs address these foundational needs and integrate critical health and nutritional education, simultaneously empowering students to improve their well-being and academic performance. With your support, we can reach our goal of impacting 1 million children in India.

Your Impact Through Our Work

We are a data-driven organisation and conduct frequent surveys to assess impact. Some examples of our past results are:

• Improvements in academic performance: Our midline survey of 1065 schoolchildren showed a 28 percentage point increase and a 20 percentage point increase in the students scoring more than 60 out of 100 in Science and Mathematics, respectively, within one cycle of engaging with our programme. There was also a 22 percentage point increase and an 11 percentage point increase in the students scoring more than 60 out of 100 in Hindi and English, respectively.
• Decrease in the incidence of undernutrition: Our midline surveys with over 2500 responses showed a 14 percentage point decrease in schoolchildren who are undernourished.
• Increased adoption of healthy habits: A 32 percentage point increase in schoolchildren who wash their hands with soap/sanitiser. There is also an increase in the consumption of vegetables, fruits, local herbs and leafy greens.
• Empowerment of schoolchildren: A 14 percentage point increase in schoolchildren who said that they could take charge of their nutrition.
