Why Earth Exists: Confronting the Core Challenges in Rural Education

Founded in 2012 by Praveen Peddi and Pramodh Peddi, EArtH Foundation is a non-profit organization registered as a 501(c)(3) in the U.S. and under Section 80G in India (Tax ID: 81-1851166). Our mission is to empower underprivileged children in rural India through holistic education, unlocking their true potential and uplifting families from poverty to prosperity.

Over the years, we have adopted 21 villages across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Maharashtra, impacting more than 4,000 children and 2,100 families. By focusing on academics, life skills, values, and personality development, we ensure children receive a well-rounded education that prepares them for a bright future.

What Makes Earth Unique?

Earth Foundation stands apart by focusing not just on children, but on the entire ecosystem of rural education. While many initiatives stop at providing basic schooling, we go deeper — working at the grassroots level to foster both academic excellence and personal growth. Our model is holistic, community-driven, and cost-effective, aiming to create lasting change by empowering children with knowledge, skills, values, and confidence. With a minimal cost of just $30 per child per year, our impact is wide-reaching, sustainable, and designed to transform entire villages — not just individual lives.
