CURRENT PROJECT - COMPUTER HARDWARE PROVISION - 2020

Technical Hardware provision to our Partner underprivileged schools across Maharashtra, India. This will include an 'IT' classroom for each school, with laptops for students. Additionally a laptop for each teacher, and projectors for classrooms to aid learning. 

 

The provison of hardware will also supplement our provison of our portal system that we have offered our schools. The schools that lack infrastructure, struggle to fully take advantage of the system we have created. 

CURRENT PROJECT - BRING SCHOOL TO LIFE - TOILET CONSTRUCTION - 2021

Providing students with water, hygiene, and sanitation services. This includes the construction of water fountains, toilets - separate for each gender - with hand washing facilities, and constant health care camps raising awareness with regards to personal care and hygiene. 

CURRENT PROJECT - BOOKS FOR CHANGE - 2020

Books For Change was the very first project initiated by the Founders of Touch A Life, even before Touch A Life was established. With an under 30% attendance ratio in Secondary Education of the poorest 20% and with the lack of financial support to education from grade 8 and onwards, children in Maharashtra are deprived of their right to education. We believe that books are the doorway to a world of knowledge and power.

For the third year in a row, and for the second year in a row working with Chow Tai Fook as our corporate partner, Touch A Life presents 'Books for Change'. 

CURRENT PROJECT - SCIENCE LABS AND LIBRARY CONSTRUCTION - 2020

These school buildings usually only comprise of a few classrooms with only benches for students, a blackboard, and a desk for the teacher. Students’ educational development is halted with their lack of access to other facilities that can curate their learning in other fields such as the sciences, or in literature, or even the arts.

 

As a result, we have partnered with our first school to construct a school building with science labs, and a library.

 

 

 

COMPLETED PROJECT - ROAD TO DIGITALIZATION - TEACHER TRAINING CAMPS 2019

Education has only one purpose: to equip the young for tomorrow. Over the last few decades, technology has made immense changes to human life. We are literally going through a new revolution -  "the digital revolution". Slowly and steadily, we are revamping our education system, which till now seemed to have been stuck a few hundred years in the past. If we are going to be the teachers of new generations then we have to become proactive in learning these technologies.

Teacher-preparation programs provide "educators-to-be" with the tools, mentors, and hands-on experience they will need. It is imperative for veteran teachers to have ongoing and regular opportunities to learn from each other. Ongoing professional development keeps teachers up-to-date on new research on how children learn, emerging technology tools for the classroom, new curriculum resources, and much more.

The best professional development can be provided through ongoing, experimental, collaborative, and connective ways of working - we hope that our training camp encourages this among teachers, students, and learning support staff through the use of technology and our platform! 

COMPLETED PROJECT - BOOKS FOR CHANGE - 2019

Books For Change was the very first project initiated by the Founders of Touch A Life, even before Touch A Life was established. With an under 30% attendance ratio in Secondary Education of the poorest 20% and with the lack of financial support to education from grade 8 and onwards, children in Maharashtra are deprived of their right to education. We believe that books are the doorway to a world of knowledge and power.

A new aspect in our project is the use of tremendous technology in the system by bringing entire system over the ERP, so that we can carry out entire activity in a coordinated manner. When we showcased our technology with Mr. Kent Wong of Chow Tai Fook, he was impressed with the same and he happily accepted our invitation to become our corporate partner for Books for Change 2019.

Kent Wong puts forward his comment as follows:

“Upholding the spirit of “Do Good Feel Good”, we share Touch A Life’s belief in empowering children towards the betterment of the society. We truly hope that our support on “Books for Change” can serve as an encouragement to the underprivileged children and youths in India to pursue their dreams”
