Evening Village Tuition Centers

Building strong educational foundations for rural children

The children here don't just do their homework. Rural children in the age group of 5 to 12, right in the formative years of their life, are given a solid educational foundation in English, Math, and Science that will propel them into STEM majors in the future.

๐Ÿ“š Our Approach

We provide comprehensive support beyond homework help. Our goal is to strengthen basics so students can study and become skilled professionals, as many parents are uneducated and unable to help with schoolwork.

๐ŸŽฏ Our Vision

They will not just settle for skill education that feeds them daily. They will have the potential to conquer space and technology and become employers who feed other people and communities.
