KEF is an NGO based in Bengaluru that works to ensure quality in Early Childhood Education for children from low-income communities.

We partner with govt. and low cost private Schools and delivers the “School Readiness Program”. This program takes a three-pronged approach to ensure collective action of all the stakeholders involved i.e., the child, the teacher, and the parent.

In the program:
– We equip the school with developmentally appropriate curriculum and teaching-learning materials.
– We build the capacity of the teachers through targeted training and one-on-one coaching
– We work on the demand side by empowering parents to partner in the education of their child.

Impact of our Reach:
15,240+ children | 500+ teachers | 343+ schools

Output:
– 8,000+ books provided to children
– 9,000+ hours of teacher training
– 15,000+ hours of parent support and training

Outcome:
– 72% of parents felt that they could support their child’s education without additional support
– 52.4% of parents felt their child was ready for the next grade
– 100% of our children who go through our program for two years are school ready as per the standardised assessment
