TODAY we run 100 dedicated Wall O Books Centers giving10,000 vulnerable children in India a new way to read, learnand connect.

We are on a mission this year to build 2900 Wall O Books inIndia - 100 in each state to give 290,000 children a powerfulnew way to discover the world outside and connect witheach other.

For each of the 100 children covered by a Wall O Books, thebooks they receive are often their first view of the worldoutside. They get a startup grant of 100 books and a majordose of love :)

What can 100 kids build for themselvesusing just a wall and their free spirit?We walk up to all kinds of places in India, collect 100kids and help them build a hypercool library of theirown using just a wall - and so we call this a Wall OBooks - equip it with a startup stash of 100 books (anda world map, a light bulb and a few more things :) andelect a little librarian to take care of it.

And then we take one child and connect her to anotherchild in another part of the country using just apostcard, magically.

I am driven by the idea of opening a windowto the world for India's vulnerable children.

I became social entrepreneur and joinedSanjukt to create a brave program that hasthe potential to power a million littledreams.

When a kid myself i dreamt of having a room

full of books, wall to wall when i grew up.

Wall of books is a dream come true not only

for the kids we work with but also for me.

If it takes two days to build one Wall OBooks, how many days would it take tobuild 100? 200 days? 50 days?We got you. It takes just 2 days. But you have to discover how.

In October 2013, Sanjukt K. Saha – an IIT graduate and Swastika Gurung – a

young social entrepreneur, started a journey to disrupt how millions of children

from low income group families in India learn, express & find hope.

Today an amazing team – Men and women. Engineers and MBAs. Young and

Old. Are breaking some walls for the world out of India.
