40K is a youth led, Australian based, non-profit that takes on joint venture projects to reduce poverty in developing communities around the world. Having completed our maiden project- a school for 200 severely underprivileged children in the north of Bangalore- we now turn our attention to a much bigger picture. We are now investing in the most cost-effective, poverty-reducing education programs to scale them into new parts of south India.
