To build a network of 10 million parent partners.
Parents have immense potential to transform schools and to bring systemic changes. Thus, we aspire to build a network of 10 million parents. This network would serve as a community learning platform to share their knowledge and expertise. The network would also amplify parental voices, needs and aspirations for systemic change in education.
Every parent is served with dignity.
Saajha believes that when parents are treated with dignity and respect, the gap between the school and community closes.
Saajha works towards such an environment in schools.
