“Access to computers and the internet is no longer a luxury — it’s a fundamental need for education and opportunity.”
– Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google
In a world where digital literacy shapes not just education but also opportunity, thousands of children in underserved communities are still growing up without access to the most basic digital tools. For many students in government schools, a computer remains something they’ve only seen in textbooks. Avant Welfare Foundation recognized this pressing gap and responded with purpose.
In June 2025, we launched the Computer and Skill Center—a space built not just with machines, but with the mission to transform lives. This center was created to offer students a chance to understand, engage with and confidently navigate the digital world that surrounds them. It’s about more than learning to type or open a browser; it’s about preparing children for a future that will expect them to be digitally fluent, even if their current environment doesn’t provide the means.
Here, students are not just taught computer skills—they are introduced to possibility. They learn how the internet can be a tool for education, how digital communication can connect them to opportunities and how basic digital literacy can open doors to higher studies, skilled jobs and even entrepreneurship. For many, it’s their first experience with guided, hands-on learning beyond the blackboard.
This center gives these young minds the confidence to dream bigger. It fills a gap left by overburdened systems and helps ensure that no child is left behind simply because they didn’t have access. It is a small space creating a large impact—one child, one session one breakthrough at a time.
By creating this center, Avant Welfare Foundation takes one more step towards its vision of an equitable future—where potential is not limited by privilege, and every child gets the tools they need to succeed.
