Transforming the Lives of Underprivileged Kids

Here’s a good thing you need to know: Tara Foundation has been transforming the lives of underprivileged children, particularly in education. But it’s not just about teaching kids how to read and write - it’s about ensuring that children also have a safe space to learn and, ultimately, be kids. So on this episode of Good Things, we’re joined by Venothan Vimalanathan, Director of Academics & Operations at Tara Foundation, to share more about the work of the foundation and the future they want to see for the children they support.
