Raising for Akash's Libraries!
Akash couldn’t have the opportunities we were ready to provide him, so we’d like to provide that opportunity for other children.
*We have committed to building a series of school libraries dedicated to Akash’s memory, with the goal of building at least one library every year on his birthday. Please join us!*
Thank you for helping us honor Akash through these 25+ libraries built in his memory across the developing world. The sky is the limit and we are committed to keep building! Education is something we feel very passionate about – something we believe no child, no matter where they're born, should live without.
All funds are tax deductible and will go towards funding Akash's Libraries. Thank you for supporting our family and a cause we care deeply about.

With your help
We want to ensure every child has access to a high-quality education, with appropriate grade-level texts, a library budding with books, and a safe classroom with teachers helping them resist pressure to drop out for work or marriage. We're creating world change that helps historically low-income communities break the cycle of poverty by improving literacy rates and ensuring students get one step closer to graduation day and the lives they choose for themselves.
