What backs it

Roshni Gupta, now 17, founded Project Vidya in August 2023 to build English communication confidence among underprivileged children in Bengaluru. The initiative has expanded across India, the UAE, Rwanda, Kenya and Lesotho, with around 40 active volunteer members aged 13 to 25, and has distributed 300-400 books to orphanages and partner schools.

Worth noting

The article focuses on the program's founding and early growth; long-term outcomes and sustained impact are not measured here.
