Education is the only way to end generational poverty. Every child we educate, is one family rescued from generational poverty. It is towards this objective that the The Academic Adoption program was established in 2011. The program currently operates only in Bangalore and addresses the bottom 5% of the urban poor who live in the city’s slums. AAP is a 15-year engagement that helps students with their education, provides long-term mentoring and supports their journey to becoming economically empowered citizens of tomorrow.
