APPL Foundation aims to create a lasting impact on the communities in North East India by focusing on education and skill-development of the younger generations. The emphasis is not only on early and high-school education, but to take a realistic approach and train the youth for employment. Education alone does not guarantee employment, but formal education paired with technical and professional training opens many doors for the youth, within and outside the region. Together, these components go on to build communities that are resilient, in the face social evils by equipping its members with the right balance of formal training and life skills. Community awareness and literacy programmes helps in creating a safe environment for the tribes in this region.
