The First Group partners with AAWAAZ Foundation on an ambitious mentorship initiative in India
As part of our continued commitment to creating brighter futures, The First Group has partnered with the Aawaaz Foundation on a transformative mentorship initiative based in India. United by a shared belief that no child’s potential should be limited by socio-economic challenges, this partnership focuses on supporting first-generation learners to succeed. The programme is funded by The First Group and managed by the Aawaaz Foundation, one of India’s leading educational support organisations. It pairs university students, known as TFG Mentors, with school-aged children from underprivileged communities.
Each mentor is carefully selected and trained to provide both academic guidance and emotional support, helping mentees build not only knowledge, but also confidence and creativity.
In its first year, The First Group funded 40 mentors and 80 mentees, building on its existing charity programme in India that delivers extensive educational funding and support to children in need across the country.
We are not just educating students, we are building future leaders who will one day give back to their own communities.
Programme Benefits
All students enrolled in the Mentorship Programme receive financial and educational support, while gaining access to networking and upskilling opportunities in conjunction with their personal mentors.
The Mentorship Programme is designed to ensure these young and talented students reach their maximum potential while at school, setting them up for university life or for work, while going on to provide important societal and economic contributions, leaving a lasting and positive impact on themselves and their local communities.
