About Us

At Enabling Leadership, we address a critical gap faced by over 800 million children globally who lack the opportunity to develop essential life skills like problem-solving, collaboration, communication, and values such as gender equality. Without these competencies, these children remain trapped in cycles of poverty, unable to thrive as responsible and employable citizens.

This gap has become a global crisis, as recognized by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal #4, which emphasizes the need for inclusive and equitable quality education.

Employers view youth work-readiness as a critical issue, with key gaps in communication, professionalism, confidence, and teamwork. The challenge isn’t a lack of jobs, but that many candidates are not work-ready. By 2027, India, Southeast Asia, and Africa will have the largest youth workforce, with these gaps more pronounced among low-income youth.

Making a meaningful dent to this alarming life skills gap, Enabling Leadership works with 9-15-year-old children from underprivileged backgrounds, using innovative programs in music, football, and Lego to develop essential life skills needed to break the cycle of poverty. Our programs help children connect classroom and playground experiences to real-life challenges. Currently, we reach 10,000 children across 125 low-income schools in urban and rural India, Singapore, Cambodia, and Kenya.
