what we do

Our comprehensive programmes span early childhood care to adult education, reaching the most vulnerable and marginalized communities across India.

Our Programs

Early Childhood Care & Education (ECCE)

We provide holistic care and learning opportunities for children aged 0–8 years, ensuring readiness of the child, family, and school. Our interventions support health, nutrition, safety, cognitive and emotional development, and smooth transition into primary education.

Access & Quality Education for primary & secondary level (AQE)

We focus on inclusive, child-friendly, and play-based learning methods. Our approach strengthens school systems, supports teachers, integrates technology, and promotes diversity, ensuring that marginalized children not only access education but also learn effectively.

Lifelong Learning & Vocational Training

We equip youth and adults—especially women and marginalized communities—with literacy, digital, and vocational skills. This enables them to adapt to a fast-changing world, secure dignified livelihoods, and participate fully in society.

Women’s Empowerment & Education

Across all programmes, we prioritize girls and women from disadvantaged groups—migrants, manual scavengers, waste pickers, sex workers, SC/ST groups, and those with disabilities—ensuring they overcome barriers to education and opportunity.

Migration & Education

We address the educational and social needs of children from migrant families, advocating for retention in schools, mainstreaming into government systems, and ensuring portability of entitlements and protection at both source and destination.

Peace Education & Extremism

Through peace education, we build resilience against violence and extremism. We foster nonviolent conflict resolution, inter-community dialogue, and active citizenship—promoting social cohesion and harmony.

Climate Change & Education

We integrate climate change awareness into education, equipping youth to become climate leaders and preparing communities for a sustainable, green future. We also focus on new livelihood opportunities in a climate-smart economy.

With Whom We Work

At Aide et Action (AEA), we believe that real change is possible only when it is inclusive, participatory, and community-led. Over the years, we have implemented medium- and large-scale programs across urban, peri-urban, rural, and conflict-affected areas, adapting our approaches to local realities while keeping communities at the center.

We work in close partnership with marginalized and vulnerable groups who face multiple and intersecting forms of exclusion:

  • Health-related vulnerabilities: people living with HIV/AIDS, leprosy, or disabilities.
  • Stigmatized professions: sanitation workers, waste pickers, sex workers, migrant laborers.
  • Socio-cultural identities: Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and other excluded groups.

To ensure dignity, equity, and social justice, our interventions are designed and delivered in collaboration with:

  • Government bodies – aligning with policies and scaling proven models.
  • CSR and private sector partners – co-creating sustainable impact.
  • Multilateral agencies – bringing global expertise and resources.
  • Civil society and grassroots organizations – ensuring relevance and ownership.

This ecosystem of partnerships strengthens our ability to reach those who are most often left behind, ensuring education becomes a pathway to empowerment and opportunity.
