Impact
We strongly believe that the only metrics that matters to us is the "destination" that we dream for each of our cohorts and the "effect" they will bring about in their community. In fact we call each of our cohort NOT by the year of them joining us, but the year they will graduate and get their job! Now in Year 5 - We are covering 320+ families across 10+ communities through our 7 Centres in Bangalore and Kerala (Rural). Hopefully our "satellite centers" staffed with our own alumni/teachers from the community will soon start playing the role of "force-multipliers" and uplift the 250-200 households in each of the communities we touch! Our interventions at this point includes providing a safe learning space with access to all kind of resources, daily/weekly Academic and Non Academic classes, offering full/partial finances of their college expenses through our scholarship programs, regular progress check with schools and parents and lastly mentoring/counselling sessions with both parents and children on a regular basis.
Vision and Mission
Shifting Orbits aims to increase the number of 'holistically educated' youths in every 'Under Served' community, acting as a catalyst to tackle inter-generational poverty by dramatically changing the composition of educated members in these communities.
