Continue to work in 1,000 schools, print 20,000 sets of 31 books for the schools, track each child in the program, release a skills report, expand the program to Maharashtra and Karnataka to 100-500 schools in each state and reach over 300,000 in total, as well as train over 5,000 teachers.
MOU with the Government of Bihar, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Goa and west Bengal for access to Grade 9-12, we are designing new content that features enterprises that young people can start their start up after the age of 18.
We're a team of experienced writers, researchers, teachers, educationists, communicators, designers, artists and move-makers: for the past 20 years we've designed and created stories to teach the poorest kids on the planet skills at school. Our stories are graphic novels, games, APPs, movies, TV shows and so much more. We believe in design-thinking (human centred design) to create our content. Which means we listen to children (research), design based on what they need and want to learn, test our protoypes with children, families and communites, make changes, test again, and then print, release, air. We have an MOU to work in 1,000 Government Schools across Bihar, and we train 10,000 teachers every year using our dynamic content, what we call, Sound & Light shows. We're now a team of over 105 people who create and design content, work to directly deliver to kids in schools and constantly track our impact, reporting back to everyone who is a part of it about how we're doing.
1. Get a Plan is a series of 30 graphic novel adventures led by young women entrepreneur heroes who take on and solve problems of Climate Change in their villages, towns and cities by starting sustainable green enterprises.

More about us, Going to School creates design-driven stories to teach India’s poorest children skills at school. We’re a creative non-profit education trust with an 11 year track record of changing children’s lives in India through beautiful stories. You could see more on www.goingtoschool.com While we currently work in Grade 9 - we have now been asked to develop financial literacy skills for Grade 11 and show have reached out to find global experts who can help us. We think weaving real life stories of young entrepreneurs who live in poverty to create financial literacy content is a brilliant approach.
Going to School Fund operates under the name of “Going to School” and works to create inspiring stories through books, movies and the radio, to inspire the poorest children and young people in India to use their education to transform their lives and create opportunities.
Going to School has operated in India for almost a decade and has created three flagship projects, “Going to School in India”, “Girl Stars”, “Be! an Entrepreneur”, "Map of Me" and now "Get a Plan". “Going to School in India” and “Girl Stars” stories have been incorporated in the NCERT curriculum where they still reach 10 million children every year, and “Be! an Entrepreneur” movies have been aired on STAR UTSAV reaching over 100 million young people who live in poverty. Be! (Schools) currently operate in 1,000 secondary Government schools in Bihar, reaching 500,000 children in Grade 9, 10, 11 and 12. We’re teaching children employability skills through stories with the aim of reducing the dropout rate and making education relevant to employment. “Get a Plan" stories work in partnership with Be! Fund (Be Trust - another non-profit trust) to provide capital to young entrepreneurs who live in poverty, to start businesses which solve every day problems.
To inspire the poorest children and young people in India to use their education to transform their lives and create opportunities.
