At NavSahyog Foundation, we develop life skills and creativity in village children so that when they grow up, they take to entrepreneurship to create a superior livelihood for themselves and others. We work with children aged 5-14, their most impressionable years.

We do this through sports, storytelling, experiential learning, and creative activities.

In the context of village children, we developed our program from the ground up and co-created it with input from the community.

We are currently present in villages across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Nagaland, where we are conducting our program daily in each of the villages.
