Bringing digital skills to underprivilleged students in rural India
At the Shala Foundation, we believe in becoming the bridge between the developed world and underprivileged kids. We teach computer literacy and digital skills to students in rural India through online workshops. We have a custom built curriculum that targets foundational computer skills from using a keyboard and mouse to operating email and word processing applications. Our lessons build skills useful in students' everyday lives enabling them to become literate in technology usage. Learn about the programs we have run in the past and are currently running below.
100+ underprivileged students in multiple remote regions of India participated in our computer skills workshops in 2025.
10+ workshops held at 3 remote locations in India [Dedoapada, Bhavnagar and Ranasan] in 2025.

We are working with Shaishav in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India to teach computer skills to students after school.
We conducted a day long camp for more than thirty students in the village of Ranasan, India to build self confidence and skills. Activities included bracelet making, strawberry DNA extraction, and playground games.
Our second Shaishav program teaches girls in a remote region of India. We teach computer literacy and conduct remote sessions directly in a mobile bus .
