Empowering the youth for a brighter, more sustainable future.
Addressing health gaps through education initiatives in gender equality and financial inclusion.
We derive our name from the Sanskrit words “Vidya,” which means knowledge, and “Setu,” which means bridge. We are a non-profit organization with a mission to improve the quality of life in northern India by bridging the health gap through public health education.
Financial Literacy Crisis
India is the fastest-growing major economy in the world. Yet, it projects one of the most discouraging rates of financial literacy due to the lack of financial education and an inherent distrust in the national banking system. Nearly 500 million of India’s population remain unbanked, contributing to healthcare discrepancies.
Women’s Health Issues and Disparities
The amount of females that have equal access to healthcare in India is nearly half of the males. This extreme disparity is solidified by inadequate education on menstruation and sexual health, which is amplified by prevalent myths requiring women to abstain from maintaining a standard of hygiene. Many young girls drop out of school due to a lack of restrooms, and nearly 50% of Indian women suffer from anemia.
Support for Communities
An effective education takes place within the context of a broader community. Our approach aims to extend beyond the traditional classroom instruction to offer more practical skills and knowledge that equip students to lead a well-informed and sustainable lifestyle.
