Apni -Pathshala: Bridging Gaps Through Education
“Education is not a privilege, it is a right — and we’re making it a reality, one child at a time.”
An open-air movement of learning, compassion, and opportunity.
About
Apni-Pathshala is a flagship initiative of Divi Welfare Society, committed to delivering basic education to underprivileged children who are disconnected from formal education systems. Conducted in open-air classrooms, our initiative transforms public spaces into hubs of learning and dignity.
Many children we work with are first-generation learners, child laborers, or children of migratory workers. Our aim is not just literacy, but a deep connection with learning — to build self-worth, curiosity, and hope.
