Two children may attend similar schools and still face very different futures. The difference is often access to guidance: someone who explains career options, helps with study habits, and says, "You can do this."
That is the power of mentorship for underprivileged children in India.
What mentors provide
Mentors help with academics, communication skills, exam confidence, and life decisions. They also model professionalism — showing what higher education, skilled work, or entrepreneurship can look like in real life.
- Weekly tutoring or homework support
- English and communication practice
- Career counselling and scholarship awareness
- Emotional encouragement during setbacks
Why it works
Children from resource-limited homes may have love and ambition at home, but limited exposure to pathways after Class 10 or 12. A mentor fills that information and confidence gap.
You can be that person
Professionals, college students, teachers, and retirees can all mentor — in person in Wardha or online from anywhere. Even one hour a week can steady a child's journey.
Become a volunteer mentor with LAF, or explore other ways to help. Opportunity should not depend on a child's postcode.
