Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], August 21: In a world where millions of children still dream of holding a book or sitting in a classroom, La Forêt Education Charitable Trust has emerged with one clear mission: to make quality education accessible to every child, especially the underprivileged. Launched in Ahmedabad, this heartfelt initiative aims to provide not only academic learning but also support systems that address the emotional, social, and financial barriers that children from underserved communities face and hold them back. Because they realised that learning alone isn’t enough when hunger, illness, and emotional struggles stand in the way. Thus, the new trust is built on La Forêt’s ongoing social responsibility work in the field of education. This project is a big step that brings not only a fair shot at learning opportunities but a fair shot at living a better life.
This initiative comes at a hour of need for India, which continues to face deep-rooted educational inequalities. Despite significant efforts and progress, across India ,47.4 million children still remain out of school and struggle to access even the most basic education. Surely the numbers are heartbreaking but what’s more heartbreaking are the reasons: poverty, gender, distance, and lack of resources. These barriers continue to hold back brilliant young minds. La Forêt Education Charitable Trust aims to break these barriers through free tuition, mentorship, and awareness campaigns. They hope to bridge the gap and bring learning to children who deserve a chance.
Education is where La Forêt’s journey began. They have been doing social outreach activities over the years. For instance, at our recent interaction with Visamo Kids on Independence Day, we visited the site and celebrated the spirit of freedom. We’ve also been to Shama School in Ahmedabad, an all-girls school, and conducted a seminar emphasizing the importance of English for personal & educational growth and how it will help in their future. Similarly, primary and secondary students at Bluebell School engaged in interactive sessions on self-growth and language skills. The initiative also reached higher education through a seminar at LJ College of Law, where students learned about the role of English in law careers and how AI tools can aid in legal language, research, and vocabulary building. These activities touched the lives of a wide range of audiences, from young primary students to aspiring professionals. And this inspiration laid the foundation for the Trust’s larger purpose to serve students, families, and communities in Ahmedabad and beyond.
“Education is not a privilege; it’s a right. With this trust, we want to ensure that every child, no matter where they’re born, gets that right,” said Vibha Goyal, Director of La Forêt Education Charitable Trust. She further emphasised “Even a single opportunity can change the course of a child’s life. This trust is our way of creating that opportunity.” Talking about the aim of the trust, she said, “Our goal is simple. We wish kindness to reach every corner. Because like knowledge, kindness is meant to be shared.”
La Forêt Education Charitable Trust was officially established in 2025 in Ahmedabad as a registered charitable organisation. Though separate from La Forêt Institute, it shares the same mission to nurture lives through education and compassion. Founded on the belief that education is the first step toward a better life, they work relentlessly to make sure every child gets a fair chance to learn and grow. And they make it possible through their efforts on language skills, digital learning, and girl child empowerment. Be it La Forêt Education, La Forêt French Class or La Forêt Education Charitable Trust, all carry the same heartbeat: inclusive and impactful learning for all.
Looking ahead, the Trust is ready to grow. Plans are already in place to reach more schools across Gujarat and other states. Key focus areas include helping more girls stay in school, improving English skills, and bringing digital education to rural areas. La Forêt also plans to run community-building sessions, awareness campaigns, and educational partnerships. To achieve these goals, it is currently seeking collaboration with local schools, volunteers, and CSR-backed organisations that want to make a difference. Support or partner with La Forêt Education Charitable Trust to educate, inspire, and empower more people. Your contribution, whether through time or donation, can truly help shape a child’s future.
