Empowering Education, Enriching Lives
The Forest Fringe School (FFS) Model by Assam Investment Advisory Society (AIAS) is a groundbreaking initiative designed to address the educational challenges faced by children in Assam’s forest fringe areas. These communities often lack basic education facilities, depriving children of essential learning opportunities. The FFS Model bridges this gap by transforming under-resourced schools into vibrant, self-sustaining institutions that provide holistic development and transformative learning experiences.
Striving for the betterment of Forest Fringe communities, AIAS, founded in 2010, promotes regional development by driving investment through sustainable strategies in Land, Energy, Waste, Water, Air, and Carbon (LEWWAC), guided by Naturenomics™ principles.
AIAS provides access to education, preserves indigenous knowledge, and fosters community-driven development through joyful, experience-based learning. It also focuses on educating children and women in healthcare, environmental stewardship, human-elephant conflict mitigation, and sustainable livelihood promoting holistic community growth.
Through the Forest Fringe School, - keeping in mind the location and the communities associated from within these communities - AIAS is in search of sustainability systems, traditional knowledge, and hands-on learning tools to empower the women and children while create a lasting environmental and social impact.
Empowering Forest Fringe Communities in Assam through Joyful, experience-based learning and access to quality education and infrastructure.
Empowering Forest Fringe Communities & students by cultivating a deep-rooted culture of environmental stewardship and education for generations to come.
The Assam Investment Advisory Society was born out of a desire to bridge the gap between disadvantaged communities in Assam, and the key universal basic assets needed for real socioeconomic mobility: education, energy, access to water, livelihoods and healthcare. Women have been the prime motivator of this vision, as visionary leaders who see the bigger picture for their communities and are unafraid to demand more and work for the well-being of their communities.
