About Us

 

One Billion Literates Foundation USA (OBLF USA), along with its partner One Billion Lives Foundation India (OBLF India), endeavor to empower communities to improve education outcomes and dignified employment for women in rural and peri-urban Bengaluru, Yadgir and Raichur in Karnataka. 

Since its inception in 2010, OBLF has been dedicated to driving sustainable transformation in peri-urban and rural communities. Our work began with building English proficiency among children in rural and peri-urban schools. We work with women from local communities through dignified employment opportunities while levelling the playing field for children through English proficiency, self-awareness, and well-being to transform learning outcomes.

OBLF USA and OBLF India are committed to creating platforms to bridge learning gaps, a level playing field regardless of region, and capacities to improve overall education outcomes in peri-urban and rural communities in India, and the global south.

We believe in co-creating community-centred processes for lasting generational change.

At OBLF USA, we believe in global collaboration to foster local empowerment. Through strategic funding and programmatic partnerships with OBLF India, we work to support their efforts in Education & Training.

  • Improve English proficiency for community educators and children in peri-urban and rural regions.
  • Better overall learning and development outcomes for children in government schools in peri-urban and rural regions.
