Our Vision High School Students from Economically Weaker Sections are Taking Informed
Action for their Future and Powering an Equitable India.

Our Mission
By 2030, empower 2 crore high school students from economically weaker sections
to take informed action for their future based on the 21st-century skills enabled
STEAM career planning curriculum.

About Anahata UNITED EFFORTS Foundation
“Make education work for me! Empower us to become the future talent force of the country!” is the
clarion call of EWS students that Anahata UNITED EFFORTS Foundation, an NGO headquartered in
Bengaluru is championing.
Most of our young students lack exposure to the world of work. They are unable to understand the link
between education and profession. “Why should I be good at Math to take up a job in the IT sector?”,
“How can my creativity help me get a job in the media sector?”, “Will I be a good fit for the armed
forces?”, “my friends are taking commerce, should I also?” …questions like these trouble them and
demotivate them and they don’t know whom to turn to. Answering these questions is our first step
while providing exposure to 24 different sectors through a 3-year 21st-century skills-enabled STEAM
Career Planning curriculum
Our role does not end there. We acknowledge that they could face many hurdles in their quest. We
work to build agency in our students to face their problems successfully and achieve their goals.
Our partnership with the Karnataka State Government departments, along with the consistent support
from corporates, individual donors, and well-wishers is helping us in achieving our vision.
Let’s Unite Efforts and work towards building an Equitable Talent force of the Future!
