i-saksham Education And Learning Foundation

Client Overview

i-Saksham is an education-focused NGO working in rural Bihar across Jamui and Munger. The organisation builds local edu-leaders to improve learning outcomes for children while strengthening community participation in education.

Problem Statement

Following their newfound brand positioning, ‘Shiksha Se Saksham,’ an exercise undertaken by Umanshi Marketing, i-Saksham needed a website that could do more than inform. It had to help recruit fellows, explain impact to donors and partners and articulate a complex ecosystem in a simple, credible manner.

Challenge

Donors underestimated the scale of the crisis.
Data such as 1 lakh primary schools operating with only one teacher and only 50% of Class 5 students able to read Class 2 textbooks needed to be made impossible to ignore.

The same site had to work for donors, fellows, parents and government bodies.
Each audience came with different motivations and expectations.

Earlier communication relied heavily on word-of-mouth.
The website had to actively support recruitment, credibility building and fund-raising.

Our Strategy

The website structure followed the brand strategy.
We anchored content around the purpose “Shiksha Se Saksham”, clearly explaining why i-Saksham exists and how collective leadership drives impact.

Content was mapped to real motivators.
Student drivers like technology exposure, English, confidence and mid-day meals were woven into storytelling rather than buried in program descriptions.

Dedicated sections addressed fellows, donors, communities and partners with clear answers to what’s in it for me—emotionally and rationally.

The Umanshi Edge
(Our Secret Sauce)

We traveled to the interiors of Bihar (Munger & Jamui) to first-hand experience the work done at grassroot level by the NGO. We met the students, fellows, school principles, parents, panchayat to understand it takes a village to raise a child. We were shaken up by the systemic gaps in education and the harsh realities that the students lived in. It was then we brought this alive digitally through storytelling.
