Setu means ‘bridge’. Our work builds vital connections between practical insights and systemic change.
We believe that by bridging these gaps, we can create lasting, equitable opportunities. We are a not-for-profit Trust working with schools and systems to co-create solutions grounded in the lived realities of children, teachers, and communities across India.
Our Approach: Encourage, Engage, Empower.
Encourage
We champion curiosity and joyful learning by introducing creative methods like reading for pleasure and arts integration that make classrooms vibrant and engaging.
Engage
We work *with*—not for—teachers and communities. Through deep collaboration, we co-design solutions that are context-relevant, respectful, and sustainable.
Empower
We build lasting capabilities through tailored training and mentoring, empowering educators and communities to lead their own transformative change.
Our Work
Capacity Strengthening
We offer tailored training, mentoring, and knowledge resources for educators and teacher-educators. Our focus is on building lasting capabilities—at individual, institutional, and system levels.
Field Innovation
We pilot and support grassroots programs that model integrated approaches to learning and wellbeing, developing and testing new modules, resources, and community learning spaces.
Systemic Engagement
We partner with government bodies and civil society organizations to scale insights from our fieldwork, influencing policy and practice for broader, more sustainable impact.
