Sitanjali foundation is a registered charity that was established over 14 years ago by Mr. Pete Uka

It was set up in order to tackle the problems of poverty in all over the world, especially amongst young children and for their education. From its humble origins as a family institution it has grown rapidly, and now its projects cover a wide range of activities located in India.
Educating the talented youth of India is one of the important mission of Sitanjali foundation. 

Education is central to development and to the improvement of the lives of young people globally, and as such has been identified as a priority area in internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals and the World Programme of Action for Youth. Education is important in eradicating poverty and hunger and in promoting sustained, inclusive and equitable economic growth and sustainable development. Increased efforts towards education accessibility, quality and affordability are central to global development efforts. Despite significant improvements in increasing primary school enrolment in some regions, the Millennium Development Goal of achieving universal primary level education by 2030 is unlikely to be met. Moreover, such improvements have not necessarily been followed by an equivalent transition to secondary education, vocational training, non-formal education or entry into the labour market, especially for girls and young women.

Worldwide 10.6% of young people are non-literate, lacking basic numerical and reading skills, and as such lack the means to be able to sustain a living through full and decent employment. With youth unemployment and underemployment at persistently high levels worldwide, and with many young working poor lacking even primary-level education, such youth unemployment and underemployment rates act to jeopardize social inclusion, cohesion and stability.

Sitanjali foundation is trying to align education policies, curricula and training programmes, in a people-centric way, with national development priorities and needs, international development strategies and labour market requirements. Doing so will promote the situation of young people, fight extreme poverty, and allow for a maximization of the benefits of globalization for youth.

According Sitanjali foundation, the persistent gender gap in education hinders youth development. Gender inequity in education is characterized by, among other things, lack of access to and availability of gender sensitive educational infrastructure, materials and training programmes, as well as a high dropout rate amongst secondary school aged girls.

Sitanjli foundation believes in Knowledge and education are key factors to the full and effective participation of youth in the processes of social, economic and political development. Increased attention to improving participation rates of young people, particularly marginalized youth, is needed to ensure that they acquire the knowledge, capacities, skills and ethical values needed to fulfil their role as agents of development, good governance, social inclusion, tolerance and peace.
The attention of sitanjlai foundation is to Greater focus on universal access to education, quality education, human rights education and learning, as well as increased access to the complementary nature of vocational, formal, informal, and non-formal educational practices in a non-discriminatory manner – particularly for young women – is key for young people to be able to address their aspirations and challenges, fulfil their potential, and influence current and future social and economic conditions and opportunities.

Obtaining universal education is a priority for the Sitanjli foundation. In doing so, they highlighted the need for ‘improving the level of basic education, skill training and literacy among all youth, including young women and youth in distressed circumstances.’ And ‘’Promote learning and life skills for young people and adults’
