Empowering tribal children through quality education and leadership skills
GRAPES “Rural Education Development Program (REDP)” has been working for 19 years to ensure quality elementary education for children, especially girls and those from minority communities, to help them become the leaders and changemakers of the future.
We see education as an imperative tool for girls to realize their maximum potential by gaining crucial skills and dispositions that set them on the path of social and economic empowerment. Our programmes and projects work through building learning ecosystems that are inclusive, gender conscious, and safe for all. Our education initiatives work in accordance with the Right to Education Act (2009) and National Education Policy 2020. Also, We are running free tuition centers (After School) for tribal children with nutrition food & snacks.

Safety & Security of Children
Social & Emotional Wellbeing of Children
Our main goal is “To develop rural school children to study & educate well with interest and without any fear, in their spare time by special coaching methods.”
