Our Projects
Welcome To Save The Quest Foundation
Save The Quest began with a focus on addressing barriers to education faced by students with visual disabilities through academic support, examination assistance and accessible learning resources. Over the years, this work has expanded into a broader portfolio of programmes addressing inclusive education, disability inclusion, digital access, community development, healthcare and humanitarian support.
To date, Save The Quest has supported 6,000+ students, facilitated more than 10,000 hours of examination support and engaged over 3,000 volunteers across its programmes.
Our interventions have included initiatives in special education, rural and community-based education, mobile learning, healthcare, accessibility, digital inclusion, humanitarian relief and need-based community support. Our digital inclusion initiatives have reached 10,000+ users, while more than 50 individuals have received sensitisation and training and 1,000+ people have received community relief assistance.
Across programmes, our approach is grounded in identifying a specific community need and responding through direct support, trained volunteers, accessible resources, institutional partnerships and community-based interventions. We seek not only to provide immediate assistance, but also to strengthen access, participation, capabilities and opportunities over time.
The Scribe Bank
View Details→The Scribe Bank is a centralised digital platform designed to strengthen examination access for students with disabilities who require writing assistance. The platform enables students and eligible volunteer scribes to register, facilitates verification of relevant information, supports requirement-based matching and coordinates examination assistance through a structured process.
The initiative seeks to make examination support more accessible, reliable organised and responsive to the individual requirements of candidates.
Project TAARE
View Details→Children with disabilities may experience multiple barriers to education and participation. Some may be unable to attend formal school, while others may require additional support with learning, daily living, mobility, personal safety or development of practical skills.
Project TAARE was developed to respond to these interconnected needs. Implemented under Project Empower, the initiative brought together special education, activities of daily living, personal safety education, vocational learning, mobility support and opportunities for social participation.
The programme recognised that meaningful inclusion requires more than access to academic instruction. Children also need opportunities to develop independence, confidence, practical skills and participation in everyday life.
Quest Public School, Bihar
View Details→Access to education requires more than the availability of a school. Children need qualified teachers, appropriate learning materials, supportive learning environments and opportunities to participate consistently in education.
Quest Public School was established to strengthen access to education across three rural communities in Bihar through school branches in Mohinuddin Nagar, Karmaunai in Gaya and Kuamardhi in Jehanabad.
At the time covered by the project profile, the three branches collectively served 230 students and were supported by 12 teachers and 3 helpers. Students received classroom education along with essential learning materials, including books, notebooks and stationery. The initiative also placed emphasis on increasing the enrolment of girls.
Project Lal Batti
View Details→Children who spend significant time around traffic signals, flyovers and other informal public spaces may face multiple barriers to education, safety and stable learning opportunities. Project Lal Batti was developed to create a regular space for learning, interaction and positive engagement for children in these settings, including children engaged in begging.
The programme operated every Saturday and Sunday, bringing together a class teacher and Save The Quest volunteers to conduct free educational sessions.
Children received access to learning and play materials, while sessions focused on foundational learning, communication, general awareness and everyday social skills.
Project Panchi
View Details→Access to education can be affected by factors such as mobility, socioeconomic circumstances, unstable living conditions and limited access to formal learning spaces. Project Panchi was developed to bring educational support closer to children through mobile-school outreach and volunteer-led community classes in Delhi.
The initiative began with the STQ Mobile School at R.K. Puram Sector 4 Rain Basera and subsequently extended educational engagement to children in nearby communities.
An earlier project profile reported that the Mobile School had supported the education of 50+ students. Project Panchi also included regular classes at Gandhi Ashram Harijan Sevak Sangh in Kingsway Camp, where nine volunteers conducted classes three days a week for two hours each day.
Project Khillona
View Details→Play is an important part of childhood. It supports social interaction, creativity, communication, confidence and learning, while providing children with opportunities for recreation and self-expression.
Project Khillona was a documented toy-distribution initiative undertaken in partnership with Sun Life Asia Service Centre India during 2017–18. The initiative provided 600+ toys to children across two community settings in Delhi.
The distribution included children connected with Project Lal Batti in R.K. Puram and children living at an orphanage in Nizamuddin West.
Project Healing India
View Details→Project Healing India brought together community-based healthcare, health awareness and humanitarian support initiatives.
On 9 February 2014, Save The Quest collaborated with Screech Foundation and Jamia Charitable Trust to organise a Hepatitis B vaccination camp in Vasant Vihar, Delhi. A health camp was also conducted at Gandhi Ashram, GTB Nagar, providing students with health check-ups and guidance on personal hygiene.
As part of the Darbhanga Flood Relief Initiative, Save The Quest collaborated with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited to provide relief support to 1,447 flood-affected families. Relief assistance included food, clean water, hygiene supplies and health information, with a focus on supporting families during the recovery period and reducing risks associated with waterborne diseases.
Together, these interventions reflect an approach that combines preventive health awareness, access to basic healthcare and timely humanitarian assistance in response to community needs.
Project Revolution Through Education
View Details→Education can create pathways to greater opportunity when children and communities have access to consistent learning support, foundational skills and relevant knowledge.
Revolution Through Education was developed to strengthen educational support for children and underserved groups through supplementary classes, tuition support, health and hygiene awareness and digital skills training.
The project provided weekly English and Mathematics classes at Gandhi Ashram in GTB Nagar, along with guidance on sanitation and personal hygiene. It also offered free tuition to children living around Vijay Nagar and computer training for persons with disabilities and children from economically weaker sections.
