About WeCan

Learn about our journey, mission, and the impact we're making in the lives of underprivileged children through education.

Our Story

WeCan was founded in 2013 by a group of passionate students at NIT Agartala who recognized the educational disparities in surrounding communities. What began as weekend tutoring sessions for a handful of children has grown into a comprehensive educational support system for underprivileged children across multiple centers.

Over the years, we've expanded our reach and impact, developing structured programs that not only focus on academic subjects but also on building confidence, creativity, and essential life skills. Our dedicated volunteers, many of whom are current students or alumni of NIT Agartala, are the backbone of our organization.

Today, WeCan continues to grow, innovate, and adapt to meet the evolving needs of the children we serve, always guided by our core belief in the transformative power of education.

We envision digitally literate communities where children are equipped with both academic knowledge and technical skills to thrive in a technology-driven world.
