About Us
Financial Literacy for Every Child
How can underprivileged schoolchildren acquire financial literacy if they have no money to invest? Students earn points for diligent journal and homework submissions. Every 100 points becomes a ₹1,000 National Savings Certificate from the Government of India, issued in the child’s name — turning consistent effort into real savings.
01
What we do
Our program has three primary goals: develop good daily habits, avoid wasting money and save instead, and grow money through the power of compounding. Alongside this, we introduce effective study methods for academic success.
Students maintain a register documenting their tasks and bring it to school for the class teacher to review. Each submission earns 1 point; a completed homework page earns 3 points. When a student reaches 100 points, we issue a ₹1,000 National Savings Certificate (Government of India, 5-year duration) in the child’s name. No pressure — students score whenever they’re ready.

How we do it
Daily Habit Tracking
Students maintain a register documenting these tasks every morning. The register is submitted to the class teacher for review and initials. Our Mentors also review it thrice a week and upload a PDF to our portal for documentation and AI analysis.

AI
Planned — not in production today
We don't process any personal data with AI today. The areas below are on our roadmap; before any of them goes live we will update the Privacy Policy and let parents know what changed.
Planned
TranslationAuto-translate journal entries between English, Hindi, Kannada and Tamil so mentors and parents can read each other’s notes.
Planned
Daily-register OCRRead scanned paper registers so attendance can be reconciled without re-typing.
Planned
Mentor digestSummarise a child’s recent journals and videos into a short weekly note for their mentor.
Planned
Video safety checkAuto-flag faces or names that slip into recorded clips before they are published, so we never break the anonymisation SOP.
Security & Privacy
Data EncryptionAll data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest. Student information is never exposed publicly.
OTP AuthenticationPhone-based OTP verification ensures only authorized users access student data and donation records.
