Foundation for Communities of Learning

Foundation for Communities of Learning (FCL) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the quality of Care and Education that children from under-resourced backgrounds in India receive. FCL adopts a systemic capacity building approach to do so. It builds pedagogical and organisational leadership capacities at multiple levels across large government systems of child development and education. This helps the officers and frontline workers/ teachers, in their respective roles, to facilitate the delivery of nurturing care and learning with meaning to the children in their care. Not only does this provide a richer learning and development environment to the children currently in these Anganwadis and schools, the presence of motivated and skilled facilitators within the system ensures that future generations of children that pass through these systems will continue to receive the care and education that can help them thrive. FCL's programs currently reach more than 13 lakh children, 30,000 Anganwadis, preschools and schools through more than 1500 district - block - cluster/ sector level officials in four states/UT’s in India.
