Help Beyond Boundaries Mentor 5000 underpriviledged Students

A policy professional and a mid-career student and fellow at Harvard University (Dr Aarushi Jain - class of 2025) started an initiative with a vision to mentor underprivileged students from rural and tribal belts in the Global South. A successful pilot was conducted in Spring 2025 with Harvard Students mentoring 12th class students from tribal state of Meghalaya in India.

Beyond Boundaries is a mentorship-driven initiative helping brilliant students from vulnerable communities in India and the Global South take the next bold step in their lives. These are students with dreams in their eyes but little access to mentors, networks, or career guidance.

Through one-on-one mentorship by students and alumni of Harvard, MIT, Stanford, and other top global universities, the students from the developing world are gaining confidence, critical thinking skills, communication abilities, and most importantly, a sense that they can achieve anything in life.

We are building ladders of opportunity where walls once stood.

From guiding a student toward their first college application to helping them discover scholarships they never knew existed, mentorship is transforming lives—quietly but powerfully.

We are currently mentoring students from government schools in India, and plan to expand across many countries by next year.

But we can’t do it alone.

Your support will help us:

1. Build a dedicated mentorship platform

2. Provide skill-building toolkits to mentees

3. Fund college application and travel costs for students

4. Create a long-term alumni support network

5. Empower 5000 + students a year within 3 years

Every contribution—no matter how small—helps close the opportunity gap for students who need just one person to believe in them.

Be that person.

Support a student. Support a future. Support Beyond Boundaries.

With heartfelt thanks,

Team Beyond Boundaries
