About Us

Alohomora Education Foundation exists to enable young people to feel confident and hopefuly about their future and eliminate Youth Unemployment in India. In our experience, structured career guidance and support in Govt high schools is critical to make this happen at scale.

Our Journey

Solution Design

Action research to design the program. Implementation in 4 communities in Delhi and Gurgaon. Our work got selected as top 6 ideas by the World Bank Youth Summit on Re-imaging Education.

Focused implementation

We delivered our program across Govt schools of Delhi and Gurgaon. Our youth fellowship model developed local community youth as facilitators and leaders of the program. This ended with a Randomised Control Trial (RCT) assessing the impact.

Large Scale Govt collaboration

We joined hands with the Delhi Govt’s flagship initiatives – ‘Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum’ and ‘Desh Ke Mentors’ as design and implementation partners

Integration with government schooling system

With a matured program design and experience of working with Govt schools at scale, we started working to embed our program with Govt schooling system, facilitated by regular Govt school teachers.
