Contribute to a Child's
Learning Journey
A child in a Himachal village holds the same potential as any child anywhere. Your support — whether through a donation, a few hours of teaching, or a skill you can share — brings that potential closer to reality.
Fund the classrooms that
shape futures
Your donation keeps tuition free for children across our villages, and keeps Samta Saathi mentoring, Hariyari, and monthly Rewards Days running. Giving is simple and secure through Razorpay.
Samta Saathi
Student Leaders mentoring younger children, and the tuition classes they run in villages near Dharamshala.
Hariyari
Environment work led by the same children, in their own villages, for the mountains that raised them.
Rewards Day
The monthly trip into the hills that honours effort and consistency, not just marks.
We publish fund allocation through our annual and financial reports as each is released. We hold ourselves to the disclosure standards of organisations many times our size.

There is more than one way
to be part of this
Financial support is one path. But Samta Tillu has always been built by people who show up — with their time, their knowledge, their care. Here is what that can look like.
Teach, tutor, and show up for a village child
"Saathi" means companion, and we mean it. A Samta Saathi is not a weekend visitor: you work inside a running tuition class, shoulder to shoulder with a Student Leader, and you live alongside the children and community you serve. You don't need a teaching degree. You need patience and reliability.
We work in Tillu and surrounding villages near Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh. Sessions happen in the circle, on open ground, wherever the children gather.
Learn how to volunteerGuide a young person toward a future they can see
Many of the youth we work with have never spoken to someone working in the field they're curious about. A single honest conversation about what a career really looks like can open a door that was invisible before.
Mentoring sessions happen online and in person. You decide your availability. Even 2 hours a month makes a meaningful difference to a student preparing for board exams or a first job application.
Become a mentor Story.
Reach.
Support through what you're already good at
The work on the ground needs people who can tell its story, design its materials, document its progress, and help it reach further. If you work in media, communication, design, logistics, or community outreach, there is a role for you here.
- Social media and digital communication
- Photography and workshop documentation
- Graphic design and print materials
- Grant writing and program reporting
Step into the work.
Here is what it looks like.
Volunteering with Samta Tillu is not a checkbox on a resume. It is real, hands-on work with real children and real stakes. We are honest about that — and we welcome people who are serious about it.
Who can volunteer?
Students, working professionals, educators, and anyone who can honour the commitment and engage a village community with respect. The minimum commitment is 8 hours per week inside a tuition class, working directly with a Student Leader. This is a floor, not a target: children invest in adults who show up, and we protect that.
What kind of help is most useful?
Teaching & Tutoring
Math, science, language basics — for primary and middle school children in villages.
Workshop Facilitation
Help run career awareness sessions, digital literacy workshops, or community dialogues.
