CherYsh Educate

CherYsh Educate teaches rural children through After-School Learning Centers, where trained village women foster holistic learning, digital literacy, and critical thinking.

We believe that education is the cornerstone of empowerment. Through CherYsh Educate, we provide holistic education to rural children via our After-School Learning Centers. These centers serve as safe and supportive village spaces where children, guided by trained village women, thrive academically and socially. Our programs, such as Junior Shiksha, English-Science-Math Shiksha, and e-Shiksha, employ innovative methodologies, including an engaging active village-based curriculum using digital tools, to foster critical thinking and 21st-century skills.

Over 10,000 children across 100+ villages have benefited, with our focus on making technology, STEM, and English education accessible, ensuring an advanced future for the next generation rural children in a technology driven society.

From Learning to Livelihood

We envision a future where every girl and woman in rural India is equipped to overcome barriers, unlock her potential, and achieve a life of dignity and purpose. Guided by the three principles of Educate, Equp, and Empower, we are shaping a generation of empowered rural individuals who will transform their communities and beyond. At CherYsh, we believe in inclusive growth by empowering rural children and women to create lasting change. Our approach is built on the principles of collaboration, innovation, and impact-driven action, ensuring that every initiative is rooted in the real needs and aspirations of the people we serve.

At CherYsh, our goal is not just to address symptoms but to tackle the root causes of societal challenges faced with a world that is dominated by technology. We strive to create a flat world where every rural woman and child can thrive and contribute to a more technologically driven society.
