Teach For India

Teach For India (TFI) began with a conviction that still drives it today—every child in India, no matter their background, should have the opportunity for an excellent education. The reality is that millions of children from low-income communities lack access to quality learning, limiting their choices and shaping their future far too early. TFI’s mission is to change that by developing a strong pipeline of leadership committed to addressing educational inequity at multiple levels.
