About American India Foundation

American India Foundation (AIF)

is committed to improving the lives of India's underprivileged, with a special focus on women, children, and youth. The Foundation does this through high-impact interventions in education, health, and livelihoods because poverty is multidimensional. Through its unique value proposition, working closely with local communities, the Foundation partners with NGOs to develop and test innovative solutions and with governments to create and scale sustainable impact. Founded over two decades ago, AIF has raised and deployed over $300 million impacting over 19 million lives across 36 States and Union Territories of India.

This role is to provide technical and leadership guidance in the Education Portfolio (LAMP and DE) for AIF-funded managed by our partner, The TeamLease Foundation (TLF). The role will be contracted by TLF in India.

About TeamLease Foundation

TeamLease Foundation (TLF)

is a Section 8 and FCRA-registered organization, committed to empowering India's youth through transformative education and skill development initiatives.

TLF

operates at the intersection of the 3Es - Education, Employability, and Employment, with a mission to enable the skilling of the underserved.

TLF

works with corporates to ensure efficient use of CSR funds in the areas of education, skilling, and employment.

For more details, please visit TLF website - LAMP Program:

The Learning and Migration Program (LAMP)

provides access to quality education opportunities to children in areas of seasonal migration, while also advocating to communities and governments the universal right to education.

LAMP

operates in highly underserved, remote districts, where school dropouts often occur due to distress seasonal migration undertaken by the family. This has a multiplicative effect on children, as they are forced to drop out of school in order to accompany their parents to migration sites and are also engaged in manual labour in hazardous industries such as brick kilns and salt pans.

LAMP

works with all stakeholders, including community and Government, through a synthesis of basic interventions to improve access, quality and governance. This ensures that children remain in the school net and develop strong foundational skills. TLF engages with various levels of Government and its focus on systemic change has resulted in an effective track record of influencing education policy in India. Initiated in 2004,

TLF's LAMP

has impacted the lives of over 5,14,000 children. In 2018-19, LAMP worked across 7 states covering more than 1,200 schools, 1,200 villages and 46,000 children.

About Digital Equalizer (DE) Program:

DE

is AIF's flagship nonprofit education program that facilitates equitable access to quality learning for students from government schools across 28 states and 7 union territories of India. This initiative bridges the educational and digital divides in India and prepares students, especially young girls, for careers and lives of their choosing.

DE

program targets secondary students in grades 6-10. It primarily trains educators in basic computer literacy and pedagogical methodologies that together bring creativity, diversity, and real-life examples into the school curriculum through the use of technology.
