Who We Are
About Arisha Foundation
A registered NGO on a mission to bridge the education gap for underprivileged youth through free, world-class technical training.
Our Story
Born From a Simple Belief
Arisha Foundation was established in July 2024 in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, with a powerful yet simple belief: no young person should be denied skills and education because of their financial background.
Our founders witnessed firsthand how talented youth from underprivileged families were falling behind — not because of lack of ability, but lack of opportunity. The gap between ambition and access was devastating.
Through a strategic partnership with ABC Trainings — one of Maharashtra's leading technical training institutes with 7 centres and 80+ professional courses — we created a model where students receive completely free, industry-relevant training in fields like CAD/CAM, IT, AI/ML, Data Science, Civil Engineering, and Digital Marketing.
Today, we don't just teach skills — we transform lives. From eligibility screening to training, mentoring, and placement support, we walk with each student every step of the way.
