We are a small team of educators, artists, thought builders and change enthusiasts, driven to address challenges and opportunities concerning education in regions impacted by conflict. Our faith in disruptive design brings us together. Our learning journeys keep us rooted. And the communities we work with keep us persistent. 

Lopa Shah

Founder, Director

Lopa is our power prism, sharply making visible to us our shades amidst the grey of rains. She brings out a million laughs and has a way with words that melts the heart away. She engages, empathises, expresses through arts, along side leading her brainchild - ELICIT with her concentric leadership!
