Why We Invest: 

Kids should be happy. But too many kids in India, and across the world, are too stressed to learn. Anxiety often undermines their ability to thrive in school. 

Labhya addresses this with daily, standalone well-being classes in public schools. The classes use guided mindfulness exercises, engaging stories, and reflective group activities, to help kids be present, cope with adversity, and learn more. The curriculum is co-created with local teachers and state officials, and teachers receive intensive training and ongoing support. With just a 30-minute daily slot, well-being becomes a consistent part of kids’ routines, seamlessly integrated into school schedules.

Early evidence shows real promise: kids learn more, there’s a big drop in anxiety, and their resilience improves — in short, kids are happier. Labhya already reaches millions of kids and plans to triple its reach next year. It’s an affordable way to make well-being a core part of education — one that could build a global movement for children’s well-being across India, and the world.
