The problem

Talent is everywhere. Opportunity isn't.

Millions of children have the ability to succeed but lack good teachers, technology, and quality learning. NEIEA USA connects American generosity with that opportunity.

One of our missions

Reaching Madrasa students in India directly

Girls and boys in Madrasas study a traditional Islamic curriculum and are often never taught mainstream, non-religious subjects. NEIEA integrates English, math, science, and computers into the Madrasa's own curriculum and classrooms, alongside their religious studies, with NIOS exam preparation toward a recognized diploma.

Choose your impact

For $5 a month, a child learns for a whole year.

NEIEA runs lean: one teacher reaches several classrooms at once, so $60 a year covers a child's full year of live classes. Every option below also works as a small monthly gift.

Where your $100 a year goes

$60 pays for one child's full year of live classes.

$40 helps train teachers and keeps the classroom connected.

Technology connects qualified teachers with partner schools, Madrasas, and learning centers across diverse communities.

Flexible access, serious standards

Extended learning hours help students study around obligations while structured instruction keeps progress accountable.

Classes offered by NEIEA

From foundational learning to recognized academic pathways.

NEIEA teaches the subjects students need to participate fully in school, work, and society—through live instruction, guided practice, and consistent assessment.

English

Foundational, spoken, and written English that builds confidence for school, work, and everyday life.

Sample classes

  • Phonics and reading circles
  • Spoken English practice
  • Grammar through stories

Who your support reaches

Opportunity for learners who are usually last in line.

Many of the students we teach are young women, often from very difficult circumstances. In community classrooms, girls' foundational classes, and partner Madrasas, they are learning English, math, science, and computers, and gaining the confidence to use them.

Your support also helps Madrasa youth, adult learners, and students in under-resourced schools gain skills that can change the direction of a life.

“After taking these classes, my confidence to speak English built up. Now I speak properly, and I do not hesitate.”— NEIEA English-program learner

Our future missions

Some children need a slower lesson or a new language. They deserve a classroom too.

Our future missions in the United States. NEIEA USA's first programs will bring basic technology and English courses in New York, Illinois, and Texas for children who are too often left at the back of the room.

Run with extreme efficiency

Every program, in India today and in the United States tomorrow, runs on the same lean model, so your gift reaches children instead of overhead.

  • One teacher, many classrooms. A single mentor teacher reaches several classrooms at once over live video.
  • Partners provide the rooms. Schools, Madrasas, and community centers host classes and a local coordinator, so we don't pay for buildings.
  • Low-cost technology. Classes run on simple video calls, laptops, and projectors instead of expensive systems.
  • A small team, supported by volunteers. Volunteers help with tutoring, outreach, and events, so more of every dollar goes to teaching.

Children with disabilities

Basic computer skills and foundational English, adapted to each child: smaller groups, a gentler pace, captions, large-print materials, and extra support in the room.

  • Using a computer, keyboard, and mouse with confidence
  • Reading, listening, and speaking in English
  • Families involved at every step

Questions donors ask

Before you give.

Still wondering about something? Write to contact@neiea-usa.org and a real person will reply.

Is NEIEA a legitimate organization, and are the classes real?

Yes. NEIEA is a fully legitimate, established organization that is already teaching children every day in 70 locations across India. In the United States we are registered as NEI Corp (New Educational Initiative Corp), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 93-2045961. Our classrooms are open: anyone is welcome to visit our classrooms in India and see the teaching for themselves, or join a live class online. You can also watch a recorded class on this page and review our partner institutions and leadership on neiea.org.

How can $5 a month teach a child for a whole year?

One NEIEA mentor teacher teaches several classrooms at once over live video, with a local coordinator in each room. Sharing a great teacher this way brings the cost of a full year of live classes down to about $60 per child, or $5 a month.

What is the Founders Circle?

The first 1,000 people who give $100 a year. Founders receive a monthly update from the classrooms they support, their name on our honor roll, an invitation to sit in on a live online class, and a handmade gift from the children every year.

Why $100 a year for founders?

$60 pays for one child's full year of live classes. The other $40 trains teachers, supports the coordinator in the room, and keeps the classroom connected. One subscription keeps one child learning, year after year.

Is my gift tax-deductible?

Yes. NEIEA USA is registered as NEI Corp (New Educational Initiative Corp), a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 93-2045961). Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by U.S. law, and we email a receipt for every gift.

Can I give my Zakat?

Yes. Choose "Zakat" under "Designate my gift" (or write ZAKAT in your Zelle memo), and your gift is directed to Zakat-eligible learners and education programs. If you have questions about eligibility, write to us and we'll explain how Zakat gifts are used.

Which payment method should I use?

Card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay is the quickest: it runs on Zeffy, which charges our nonprofit no fees, sends your tax receipt automatically, and lets you set up a monthly or yearly gift you can manage yourself. Zelle sends 100% of your gift straight from your bank app. PayPal works with your PayPal balance or cards. GlobalGiving is also available.

How does a yearly gift renew?

If you give through Zelle or PayPal as a one-time payment, we'll email you a friendly reminder a year later. You can also choose a monthly gift of about $9, which adds up to roughly $100 a year and renews on its own.

Can I change or cancel my subscription?

Yes, anytime, and you can do it yourself. Card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay gifts can be changed or cancelled from the link in your Zeffy receipt email. PayPal gifts can be paused or cancelled in your PayPal account under Automatic payments. Zelle gifts are sent from your own bank app, so you're always in control: stop a repeating Zelle payment there at any time. Or write to contact@neiea-usa.org and we'll take care of it, no questions asked.

Why education matters

Education is the one gift a child keeps for life.

  • An educated child can read their own medical report.
  • A child who learns English can apply for the job their parents never could.
  • A family where one child finishes school rarely goes back.

Your support does more than pay for a class. It places a qualified teacher in front of a learner, brings English, math, science, and digital skills within reach, and builds the confidence to imagine a different future. $5 a month teaches a child for a whole year. $100 a year makes you a member of the First 1,000 Founders Circle.

Education is the gift that keeps on giving: the ultimate sustainable gift. It empowers a child's future, strengthens their family, and lifts every generation that follows.
