Come join our team of volunteers as we learn and grow together.
Our Mission is to create a safe space for students to learn, feel empowered and grow. By providing students with the agency to be the most confident version of themselves possible, Sukha seeks to empower individuals to become their best.
Our Vision is to bridge the English communication divide by enabling a supportive ecosystem for all.
Our Culture and the basis of our foundation are feedback from our students and their communication with us, which allows a comfortable feedback loop where we can aid students more efficiently. Kindness is crucial as it creates a much better learning atmosphere to build connections between teacher and student.
Communication is what carries many people around the world through an illustrious career and is the centre of many jobs across India. We believe that communication impacts one's life experiences and development. Although India carries the heritage of many culturally diverse languages, English as a global language seems to be able to push forward careers and unlock opportunities for thousands in this country. An essential part of our goal is to connect with government schools/low-income private schools and community centers to allow this range of students to have opportunities.
Bearing this in mind, we created Sukha Education Foundation with one simple goal, to teach communicative English through creative ways and bridge the gap between education and employability. We teach all we can to empower people with the power to communicate.
We want our students to feel confident about their abilities and achievements and aware of the opportunities they have with their new skills. We want them to feel they can confidently speak and communicate in English after being mentored.
During the times of lockdown, we at Sukha Education Foundation continued to trudge forward by moving our classes online and reaching our students over online calls and sessions.We also hope to have them pass on their abilities to try and teach others in their community with the passion and drive they took to learning.
Sukha operates on two models
We have a short-term programme (Beyond the Chalkboard, 2-3 weeks programme), and
a long-term programme (Communicative English programme, 6 months programme).
We provide and conduct workshops for students by partnering with other NGOs. Our team conducts workshops in creative ways such as theatre, art and public speaking to make education much more expressive and fun.
These are primarily short workshops that take place for 2-3 weeks.....

The idea of starting Sukha came from noticing an ever-widening education gap that currently exists in our society- Several talented and brilliant people I knew were being denied employment, promotions, and leadership roles due to their inability to converse in English simply.
Starting Sukha would be my first step in paying forward the kindness and opportunity shown to me. I seek to provide our students with the agency of English as a tool to achieve their personal goals. My principle as a teacher is that I enable students to see their best potential and push them to see their own brilliance, reminding them that they have nothing to be afraid of. Hopefully, my students will impact many more lives directly or indirectly.
I feel the role of a teacher is an extension of the term "student". You are constantly learning and evolving. The idea of wanting to get into the education space found a place in my heart during my final year of college
I've had no formal training apart from my stint with the Teach For India fellowship. But I'd like to believe that my theatre background helped me with the process. There are a lot of parallels one can draw between teaching and theatre. Both are performance-related, with impromptu situations thrown at you every step of the way. It's all about adapting and accepting that there's more to learn.
Sukha, I believe, is just that. It's about pushing yourself both as a student and a teacher. Make yourself a little more when you feel like you've reached the point of "I can't do anymore" and find comfort in doing so.
You have shown me what my abilities can be, that I wasn't able to see at first.... When I feel like I am not doing well, you boost my confidence level. You are always there for me. I literally feel like this is my little home
StudentBefore joining this class I was nervous to speak, but now I have improved a lot. This class makes me very confident to speak even if I sometimes make mistakes. I really liked learning new words in the class
