Our story

A small circle of care for India's largest gap.

A student in our Pathshala program

VDevi Foundation was founded in 2022 by a small group of educators who had seen, first-hand, how a missing notebook or an unpaid school fee was enough to keep a bright child out of class — often for years, sometimes forever.

What started as one informal study group has grown into V Devi Pathshala — a free community school running daily in the lanes of Delhi. Alongside it, the foundation now runs hygiene workshops for women, distribution drives and outreach surveys to find the next child waiting to learn.

We are still small. We do not have corporate sponsors or large grants. But we have what matters most: a community that trusts us, and the discipline to spend every rupee where it can change a life.

Mission

To provide free educational support, hygiene awareness, and resources to underprivileged children and women — wherever the system falls short.

Vision

A neighborhood, a city, and one day a country where no child is bereaved of education because of where they were born.

Values

Compassion before paperwork. Transparency in every rupee. Dignity for every family we walk alongside.

What we stand for

A community-run promise.

Run by volunteers

Teachers, students and neighbours who give their time week after week — no salaried management, no overheads.

Every rupee tracked

Donations move directly into materials, kits, food and program costs — receipts on request.

On-ground first

We work in the lanes, not in offices. Every program starts from what the community itself asked for.

Open to partners

Schools, colleges, CSR teams and individuals — we tailor every collaboration around real impact.
