KEF’s approach is primarily three-pronged:

  1. Holistic interventions with children and educators in schools
  2. Equitable scholarships for higher studies
  3. Vocational education and skills training for livelihoods

Key interventions by KEF in Maharashtra, and partially in Gujarat, include strengthening school leadership, building teacher capacity, creating a digital ecosystem in schools, equipping middle school students with confidence and communicative English skills for future readiness, and upskilling teachers in foundational literacy and numeracy. We also support districts in building and running model schools.

In 2021, KEF launched the Kotak Kanya Scholarship to offer financial and academic support to meritorious girl students from all over India for pursuing higher education. The Kotak Junior Scholarship supports meritorious students from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region in pursuing 11th and 12th grades. Our Unnati project upskills unemployed youth from economically weaker sections, coaching them in basic IT, spoken English, life skills, and personality development, ensuring placements for all eligible participants.

KEF stands at the cusp of change, preparing for the next chapter in its journey toward empowering youth with quality education and livelihood opportunities. Armed with extensive experience and expertise, the organisation aims to scale both the depth and breadth of its reach. KEF’s philosophy is evolving from ‘school as a unit’ to district and state-level education transformation. As KEF expands its scope, it will drive systemic reform and state education transformation to create long-term impact at scale.
