Mission & Vision

Our Mission

Going To School creates design-driven stories that are delivered to children in government schools across India. Our stories equip young people with the dynamic skills they need to stay in school -- think like an entrepreneur, understand climate change, use the power of design, and play football to build life skills.

Our Vision

A world where every child, regardless of their background, has access to creative, inclusive education that empowers them to become changemakers in their communities. We envision classrooms alive with stories, design, and entrepreneurial thinking that prepare young people for the challenges of tomorrow.
