We work towards removing poverty, improving the quality of community life; bringing happiness and joy to all; providing them with means of sustenance, imparting the right education and training and enabling them to be self-sufficient.

 

We believe the best scenario in our work is to instil self-dignity in those people who benefit through our work and getting them to stand on their two feet. If we could touch the lives of the really deserving, we consider it as a huge reward. Taking the right action right now is what we are all about.

​

Our approach at Knowledge and Wisdom is to impart these essential ingredients, focussing all our resources to alleviating poverty through education and building local partnerships coupled with effective food programmes and other related projects.

​

We strongly believe that nobody became poor by donating. We have setup this infrastructure to help you and us and most importantly those whose lives depend on our donations. Help us to help them through you. You are our partners in this noble work.

 

Our 7 point educational plan means the world to us and we believe ours as well as your efforts can go a long way to delivering change that matters. 

​

Education increases a person's income

Studies show that for each year of schooling, girls can increase their lifetime earnings 10-20%. (And if you want that fact gender neutral, the overall benefit is still about 10%).

​

Education saves lives

Each year extra of a mother’s education reduces infant mortality by 5 to 10%.

​

Education makes children healthier

A child with a mother who can read is 50% more likely to live past their 5th birthday.

​

Education builds peace

For every 10% a region is above the average education level, the risk of war and conflict is reduced by about 3%.

​

Educations feeds people

Investing in girls education particularly has the potential to boost food production in by about 25%.

​

Education makes everyone wealthier

Seriously. Each additional year of school given to children in a nation raises average annual domestic product (GDP) growth by 0.37%. That may not seem like a lot, but in real terms that could mean billions of dollars. Put in those terms, it’s a little easier to see how important this is.

​

Reading reduces poverty

Studies show that if all students in low-income countries left school with basic reading skills, 171 million people could be lifted out of poverty. Just by teaching them to read! (You know, that thing you’re doing right now)
