Children of Digital Community School

Our learners today will lead their communities tomorrow, responsibly

 

Our Vision

We want to nurture our learners to become creative, introspecting, confident individuals with a tolerant view towards diversity, pride towards their heritage, equipped to be leaders of the future with academic, vocational and other capabilities to be able to make positive sustainable choices in life.

Create a model that shifts from skill-based schooling to sustainability education

 

Our Mission

Demonstrate a scalable, grassroots model that equips rural schools today to provide quality sustainability education, that is contextualised, holistic, future-oriented and inclusive at the same time. Our mission is that the last mile learner has to catch up with basic skills and evolve new age skills to run a mile ahead.

The art of washing hands

We believe that while we deal with today, we must prepare for tomorrow
 

Empowering communities

We envision building self-reliant communities in a context where the Fourth Industrial Revolution is expected to result in an exponentially evolving and highly disruptive technology-led jobless economic growth. To remain relevant in such an ecosystem requires adapting to new skill sets and being able to apply critical thinking skills to manage new and emerging challenges.

Wellness

Women’s Wellness Initiative works towards building healthy and resilient communities by enabling grassroots community champions. The community health champions are trained to conduct awareness using interactive curriculum and tools, facilitate community-led health and nutrition initiatives and provide access to basic health services at doorsteps.

The program adopts a hybrid approach of the in-person and digital dissemination of information and delivery of health care services to achieve in-depth impact and scale. Through its various initiatives (including covid relief) in 85 villages of 6 states, it has impacted the lives of 1,00,000 community members directly and 5,00,000 indirectly.
