US based Youth-led nonprofit Rice Kids announced a partnership with Delhi-based Sunaayy Foundation to strengthen access to education for children from marginalized communities across India.
The collaboration will bring together Rice Kids’ comprehensive education and support model with Sunaayy Foundation’s network of learning centers that operate in several states, including Delhi/NCR, Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal.

The joint effort aims to provide children with academic resources, nutritional support, wellness programs, and skill development opportunities, while also creating pathways for long-term social and economic upliftment.
“Sunaayy Foundation's commitment to holistic education perfectly aligns with our mission,” said Anakh Sawhney, founder of Rice Kids. “Their innovative approach to serving children who have been left behind by traditional systems creates real opportunities for young people to build better futures, and allows us to reach more children while supporting an organization that truly understands how education transforms communities.”
“Partnering with Rice Kids strengthens our ability to serve families and kids more effectively,” said Richa Prasant, founder of Sunaayy Foundation. “Their support, front-line work, and community-driven model aligns with our programming and makes it more holistic, while maintaining the quality that helps children thrive academically and personally.”
Established in 2009, Sunaayy Foundation has focused on education for children from economically disadvantaged families, combining classroom learning with nutrition and holistic care. The foundation also promotes women’s empowerment by helping them become active and economically independent members of society.
Rice Kids, founded in 2018 when Sawhney was just nine years old, has since expanded to support thousands of individuals across five U.S. states and several regions in India. The nonprofit works with more than 300 partners, addressing the intersections of education, nutrition, and health in communities affected by poverty.
