<div>The Vialista Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit headquartered in New Haven, CT, founded by a group of Yale University Students.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are fundraising to support the second cohort of the Vialista Digital Skills Academy, initially launched in January 2023. This program teaches digital accounting and Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) to young adults in Chennai, India. We then pair graduates with local companies to ensure fair-paying employment utilizing their newly acquired skills. Our NGO partners in India, the <a href="https://praisefoundation.in/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Praise Foundation</a> and <a href="https://www.brosigassg.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bro Siga Social Service Guild</a>, help us make this work possible.

<div>Dedicated students from our first cohort engage in accounting training.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our first cohort, comprised of ten students, graduated in April 2024. This group excelled, with a 100% graduation rate. One student said, "This course helps us have a brighter future; please keep supporting us!"

<div>Graduates of our first cohort - donate today to support more success stories like these.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We look forward to launching our second group of students in June 2024—this course will run for six months. This group consists of 30 highly motivated young adults from low-income families who plan to use the skills learned in our program to obtain employment in the accounting and banking sectors. This will dramatically increase their earning potential, transforming their quality of life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All funds will be used directly to benefit students in our program. This includes paying for accounting and Microsoft Office instructors, WiFi, rent for the class location, laptop maintenance, and official accounting and Microsoft Office proficiency certification through a partnership with a local accredited university - <a href="https://www.cornerstone.edu.in/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kings Cornerstone International College</a>.

<div>Your support breaks down into tangible essential resources for our 6-month program.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We thank you for considering a contribution to the Vialista Foundation. With your help, we can meet our goal of $8,100, which ensures that all 30 motivated students receive the full benefits of our Digital Skills Academy. <strong>Please donate, share our campaign with friends and family, and join us in transforming the lives of young adults in India.</strong> Every donation brings us closer to our financial goal and to a future where every young adult can reach their full potential.
