We are working on opening our next International School in India, in Mumbai. India is a return to our roots for us: our CEO Nicolò Govoni did his first volunteer experience there, which then marked his stay in India for 4 years and the beginning of his work that eventually led to the founding of Still I Rise.
Mumbai is the economic center of India: vibrant, eclectic and cosmopolitan, millions of people converge on Mumbai from many areas of the country. Yet, this prosperity coexists with extreme income disparities, with a substantial portion of the population living in slums in conditions of hardship and extreme poverty. Worn-out child labor, human trafficking, and desperate sanitary conditions are the harsh reality for tens of thousands of children in Mumbai. Our School is going to serve them, the forgotten children.
After registering the organization’s legal entity in the country and encountering significant challenges in finding a building truly suited to our needs, in October 2024 we took a decisive step and commissioned a construction project to a specialized local partner. The Mumbai campus will be the first Still I Rise International School built entirely from the ground up in line with the aesthetic standards that characterize our educational facilities: a bold and innovative move that marks an important milestone in our history. Keep following us for updates on this project.
