We make Education fun, beneficial and empowering
through community supported enrichment programs

About

Healthy and flourishing communities consist of everyone actively and intentionally contributing to the wellness of the community. These contributions need not be equal but they are all equally important. Sometimes, we have to empower each other to be able to contribute towards the wellness of the community.

Move The Wheel Foundation is a Non-Profit Educational Trust. We work in the Education sector, supporting deserving students and conduct child centered community-championed enrichment activities.

  • Started: Jan 2010
  • Based in: Hyderabad, India

At MTWF, our efforts are centered around working together to provide an enriched childhood so that children have a successful adulthood. It is also about giving childhood a chance, about having fun, helping each other, competing, giggling and learning.

It's crucial for our collective wellness that children from underserved backgrounds aren't solely dependent on aid to live their lives.

We have to help them thrive, seize opportunities for self-improvement and progress in life. For that we have to equip them with the essential skills that enable them to break the cycle of poverty, transform into empowered individuals, and become agents of positive change.



Team MTW

A couple of years before we were a registered Foundation, three friends – Sunita, Brunda and Anjana had been visiting and Volunteering at the Govt Upper Primary School in Gowlidoddi, Hyd.

We celebrated Independence Day, held drawing competitions, and distributed prizes. We also taught Spoken English & Hindi. We told them stories & discussed the harms of drinking. We told the children why we celebrate Independence Day. We showed them pictures and videos of their lessons. We discussed the Good Habits and the advantages of a disciplined liviing. We distributed books & Dictionaries to the children.

We played with the children and they, in turn opened up their hearts & their lives to us. They inspired us to keep going and inspired us to take the next step. They made us see the potential for development. They tempted us on the sweet rewards of contentment that awaited us if we committed ourselves to this school.

So, with encouragement from the then Head Master Mr. Koti Reddy and more well-wishers, we formed a Non-Profit Educational Trust and got registered on Jan 2010. Since then, our lives and the lives of so many who have been with us on this incredible journey have been that much sweeter!
