“I found the work impressive for its ability to transform the landscape of rural education. I also found that the entire process is structured extremely thoughtfully and is beginning to prove truly productive. I came back with the impression that the project I saw was unparalleled in India.”

"These people at the bottom would have gone unrecognised for probably another 40 years if not for Aspire’s community mobilisation work"

“The work and activities of ASPIRE in the community and for school children is a milestone for the society. Awareness programs like girl’s rights, youth awareness etc. are also some of the big responsibilities taken up by ASPIRE at habitation and GP levels.”

“The work ASPIRE is doing is one of the best by an NGO in the country. In their project area, they have not left any family and the volunteers are helping the local government in carrying out relief efforts for the people. This kind of model should be replicated across the country.”

"During my visit(to Thousand School Project areas), I had the opportunity to explore, learn, and exchange ideas about the best practices in the field of education. It was an enriching experience altogether."

“We were very impressed by the self-confidence revealed by the children in the CERC. Contrary to the general behaviour of keeping quiet and moving away when they meet with strangers, this group of children were interacting with ease with members of the visiting team. The confidence they showed is an indication of the positive attitude created by the project and the friendly approach of the project functionaries.”

“Aspire’s projects view the work of educating all children as consisting of activities that go beyond the confines of schooling and classroom teaching-learning. It is really commendable that the Project team has succeeded in securing the involvement of all stakeholders in implementing various activities.”

“Key element of the successful implementation of the projects has been the work done in communities to build trust. This helps them prioritise getting every child to school. The ECCE is also undertaking important work with zero-to-six, supporting mothers and families and ensuring nutrition, safety, and cognitive development.”

“Thank you very much to Aspire, for extending a hand of cooperation to the community, for working for them and for their betterment. I hope that with cooperation and joint efforts, the CERC centre will grow further. ”

“From small to big, everyone can get education here. For that, a big thank you to everyone at Aspire.”
