Focused support at schools

Digital literacy is the cornerstone of quality education today. IT labs and digital classrooms, however, are expensive to set-up for NGOs. To ensure that the children supported by KPMG in India are not deprived of IT exposure and are able to benefit from digital technologies, we support our partner NGOs in establishing IT enabled infrastructure. Teachers are encouraged to integrate technology as part of their teaching methodology as it enhances the learning experience for students, easing the understanding of complex topics.

Providing good infrastructure facilities such as well-lit and airy classrooms, comfortable furniture, well-equipped laboratories, updated IT equipment, school transportation, sports and extra-curricular facilities etc. are key elements for schools to ensure they are creating a conducive learning environment for students. Over the years, we have worked towards strengthening the infrastructure of the NGO run schools we work with.

Promoting girls' education is a key priority for development. Women who receive a better education are generally healthier, more active in the formal job market, earn higher salaries, have fewer children, marry later, and can provide improved healthcare and education for their children if they choose to become mothers. Together, these advantages can significantly help lift families, communities, and entire nations out of poverty.

Our Aspire programme helps build skills and abilities of disadvantaged girl students through quality education, mentoring and other significant contributions, with the objective of enhancing their employability. The students are inducted into the programme at grade nine and we continue to support them till they finish their graduation.
