About the Project

A social initiative founded by the Parikh siblings in 2015, Back to Basics focuses on developing a peer education initiative that aims to provide basic life skills to young people from underserved backgrounds. Back to Basics has now taken on a life of its own under the leadership of Aditya, who wants to reach a wider range of students and address a broader range of topics like finance, communications, and sustainability.

By incorporating curriculums that cover the fundamentals of health, finance, sustainability, along with workshops, Back to Basics seeks to inform students from underserved communities about issues that go beyond the scope of school curricula and could be crucial to their growth as young adults and prepare them to take on the challenges of the real world.
