Atma has been supporting education NGOs to grow and scale sustainably in their impact. Through the Accelerator, NGOs are guided to plan and implement projects in a more strategic manner.
Our History
Founders Adrienne Monteath-Van Dok and Hayley Bolding set up Atma in 2007, after exploring first-hand the dearth of quality education services that left millions of children excluded from a relevant education.
Atma's mission became plain: support existing education NGOs, transforming them into sustainable and scalable organisations. By transforming high potentials into high impact organisations, Atma enables them to reach out to more children in need.
Atma is an Accelerator for Education NGOs and Social Enterprises in India. We currently operate pan India. Atma was founded in 2007 to support and strengthen education organizations. We believe that these organizations can lead the way in reforming education; but faced with a severe lack of financial and human resources, they are unable to realise their true potential.
Vision
To ensure quality education for all children.
Mission
To build the capacity of education NGOs to achieve sustainability and scalability thereby enabling delivery of quality education.
NGOs serve the most vulnerable students across the country. The role of education NGOs has become critical as they seek to supplement, complement or substitute the formal education system (CII Report).
Increased availability of private capital for scale, but a limited number of NGOs able to absorb capital.
