Every dollar you donate is matched 1:1 by Dr. Suri and Mrs. Edda Sehgal, doubling your impact for schoolchildren in rural India.

Every child deserves access to quality education in a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment. S M Sehgal Foundation’s Transform Lives, one school at a time program
uplifts schools in rural communities across India, many of which suffer from poor infrastructure and limited learning tools. These barriers limit a child’s ability to learn, grow, and pursue a brighter future.

Your matched gift today will go twice as far in creating the kind of learning environments every child deserves. Your contribution will directly:

​

• Upgrade classrooms, libraries, and sanitation facilities to ensure safe, inclusive learning spaces especially for girls, who have long been disadvantaged

• Provide digital learning tools and resources to bridge the digital gap for rural schoolchildren

• Engage parents, school management committees, and local communities in the process to sustain long-term impact.
