Problem
This project identifies and recognizes teachers who make a difference beyond the walls of their classrooms by encouraging students to be part of community programs, conserve nature and the environment, and educate them to be responsible citizens. This is a pilot project where we identify 10 teachers across India who will be provided Rs.1,500 per month for 12 months. They are welcome to use 1/3rd of the amount for their professional development and utilize the rest for projects, creating educational content, buying materials related to education, hosting workshops on topics such as – sustainability, sex education for boys and girls, social responsibility, and social etiquette.
Solution
Imagine what we can do with 1 teacher from every school around the world? Update – This project is found to be beneficial anywhere around the world. The scholarship amount will depend on the geographical location. Currently we are estimating $25 per teacher/month in India and $150 per teacher/month in the U.S.
