Bridging the
Digital Divide
We equip students in underserved districts with digital skills and eco-conscious learning — building brighter futures one community at a time.
Rooted Across Maharashtra
We focus on districts where digital education is most needed — prioritising tribal regions, drought-affected areas, and underserved rural communities.

What We're Working On
Real projects, real communities — updated live from the field.
Six Programs. One Mission.
Each initiative is built for the specific challenges of a district, a community, a group of learners — not copied from somewhere else.

Why This Work Cannot Wait
The problems EDLF addresses are structural, urgent, and solvable — but only with consistent, community-centred action.
The Digital Divide is Real
68% of rural Maharashtra students have no access to a computer at home. Without intervention, this gap becomes a permanent economic barrier.
Environment Cannot Wait
Vidarbha and Marathwada face worsening droughts. Education that ignores climate is incomplete — we weave eco-literacy into every program.
Skills, Not Certificates
60% of Code for Change graduates are in tech employment within a year — because we teach practical skills that employers actually need.
Community Ownership Lasts
Programs that leave when funding ends leave nothing behind. We transition every initiative to community ownership within two years.
What We've Actually Built & Done
Not pilot studies. Not reports. Real work, real places, real people — here's a handful of what's happened.
Gadchiroli Forest Hub
A solar-powered computer lab in a ZP school deep in Gadchiroli's forests — serving 300+ students who had never used a computer before.
Nashik Tribal Bootcamp
22 students from tribal communities shipped their first project — a hyperlocal farmers' market directory now used by 400+ families.
Amravati Soil Sensors
Student-built IoT sensors monitoring 65+ farms in Vidarbha. The data caught an early-season drought signal two weeks before official advisories.
Nagpur Vendor App
Vinayak Gaikwad's Youth Lab project connects 200+ vegetable vendors directly with buyers — no middlemen, better margins for farmers.
“Growing up in a farming family near Nashik, I had never touched a computer before EDLF. After the bootcamp I built a small website for my father's produce. Today I work as a junior developer at a Pune startup.”
Every Contribution Reaches a Real Classroom
100% of donations go directly to programs. No overhead, no bureaucracy — just learning, growing communities, and brighter futures.
