Muskurahat Foundation

Future-proofing the next generation,
today.
The Problem
Over 50% of Indian youth are not on track to have
the education and skills necessary for
employment in 2030*.
Integrating 21st-century skills with a blend of
workforce readiness, soft skills, technical skills, and
entrepreneurship is an urgent need to help the
youth adapt and participate in the changing
landscape. But this by itself is not enough.
To absorb these life skills and put to effective use,

the child equally needs to have:-
• Strong personal ethics that guides productive
behaviour
• A healthy mindset that helps them deal with
tough situations. References: *UNICEF report: Special edition of GBC-Education’s 2030 Skills Scorecard

In collaboration with MOOL (social enterprise) we
conduct Art Workshops with children, either in
institutional or community setting. Post workshop,
the team at MOOL selects a few designs to print
on their clothing products, the artists (children) of
those designs are awarded an one year
scholarship to support their education under our
Project KEYtaab.
Project KEYtaab is implemented at every

institution/centre where we conduct the Art
Workshop

youth who are under-equipped to crack jobs.

action plans to achieve it.

Project Partnership
We partner with organisations that are working with children in
communities and as childcare institutions. Through the partnership we
extend our assistance in strengthening academics through additional
support, inculcate social-emotional learning and take preventive and
remedying efforts towards the mental wellbeing of each child
We believe that collaborative work can help in creating deeper impact

and that combined efforts yield better outcomes.
In the partnership, we will conduct our activities parallel to the on-

going work of the partner organisation, with our resources.
However, we request support from partner organisations in

mobilization and assistance in the above-mentioned activities under
