DONATIONS TO THIS PROJECT IS BEING MATCHED DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR

Since 2018, Sanjhi Sikhiya has been working towards bringing systemic change within Punjab's public education system. We partner closely with both state and district governments and our programs reach over 500 schools and 40,000 students across Punjab, with a primary focus on enhancing teaching-learning methodologies and increasing community ownership.

Our district-level initiatives are spearheaded by fellows of the Punjab Youth Leaders Program (PYLP), a two-year leadership development program for young individuals. PYLP empowers youth to contribute to Punjab's development while refining their own leadership skills. 

Our impact is scaled up throughout the district through policy advocacy, dissemination of exemplary teaching practices among educators, and the organization of collaborative events to strengthen engagement among key stakeholders.

Punjab Youth Leaders Program (PYLP) is a two-year full-time leadership development program. 15-30 fellows are inducted every year. These young leaders work towards improving the quality of education and governance in government primary schools in rural Punjab. By doing so, they level up their own leadership skills and competencies. The aim is to create a strong community of future leaders who are committed to transforming Punjab into a land of hope, courage, and possibilities in the next 30 years.

Pledge $1,000.00

Using an "ability-based" approach when teaching children is crucial in equipping them with the necessary skills and competencies to prepare them for their future. Our Cluster Academic Meetings (CAM) provide government school teachers with the training and capacity-building they need at a cluster level to implement this approach in their classrooms. These monthly meetings allow teachers to share best practices, support one another, and work towards a shared mission. They develop a sense of camaraderie and, more importantly, a belief in collective teacher efficacy - the conviction that united efforts lead to improved learning outcomes for students.
