In 2008-09,

• LeapForWord got access to its first BMC school, namely, Chakala Municipal School. 
• Additionally the course was also initiated at Shirpur (District, Dhulia) – our first rural school project. 
• The Effort reached ~145 students through its school project in this year. The classes were conducted only on saturdays after school hours.

In 2009-10,

• The Effort made significant inroads in the BMC schools adding 16 new batches across 6 BMC schools. 
• Also beginning this year, LeapForWord got official permission to conduct classes during regular school hours in the municipal schools unlike the previous two years when the classes were conducted only on saturdays after school hours.

In 2010-11, the following new project/ locations have been added;

• Nearly 480 students across 5 new BMC schools in the Andheri - Jogeshwari area (K - East ward) of Mumbai

The Effort has also partnered with other Non Profits to take the programme to more number of students at a faster pace. Through our Non Profit partners we are currently reaching around 800 students across 18 schools in Mumbai. To read more about the  Non Profit partner program, click here.
