CSR & SOCIAL IMPACT WING OF DE' LEAD INTERNATIONAL

We take technology education to the children who are told it isn't for them yet.

DLI Foundation is where De' Lead International's classroom experience becomes a CSR programme: government liaison, curriculum, trainers, kits and reporting, run end-to-end for funders who want to see exactly where the money went.

ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

Most CSR education spend never reaches a rural classroom. DLI Foundation exists to close that gap, one school at a time, with the same team accountable from proposal to expo.

De' Lead International has spent years designing coding, robotics and AI programmes for schools and companies. DLI Foundation takes that same operating capability and points it at government and tribal schools that would otherwise never see this quality of STEM education — funded by CSR partners, endorsed by state education bodies, and tracked in the open.

We don't broker the work out to subcontractors. Curriculum design, trainer recruitment, kit procurement, government liaison, session monitoring and the closing expo all sit inside one accountable team, which is also why the same funder has come back for four consecutive phases.

What the Foundation commits to

  • Full-stack implementation — not a vendor referral
  • School-wise attendance and progress, tracked live
  • Government/DIET endorsement before a school is entered
  • A closing expo with an external jury, every phase
  • Board-ready reporting the funder can hand upward

How a CSR rupee becomes a working robot

The same delivery model behind every DLI Foundation programme, refined across four phases of Walk2Lead.

SELECT

Schools & students

We work with DIET and the education department to shortlist government/tribal schools, then run an orientation ideathon and written test to select roughly 30 students per school from cohorts of 300–400 applicants.

DELIVER

Curriculum & kits

A multi-month, hands-on curriculum — electronics, coding fundamentals, AI-assisted building — delivered on real kits inside the school, with our own trainers and a real-time progress portal the funder can check any day.

PROVE

Expo & report

Every phase closes with students pitching working prototypes to an external jury, followed by a board-ready impact report built from the same session records the funder had visibility into throughout.

FLAGSHIP PROGRAMME

Walk2Lead Robotics Tech Quest

Funded by Walkaroo Foundation and implemented end-to-end by DLI Foundation, Walk2Lead brings robotics, Arduino, sensors and AI-assisted coding into rural government schools across Kerala — in association with DIET and the General Education Department, Government of Kerala. Four phases in, and scaling every time.

Reporting funders actually get

The same records we track for our own programme management, not a summary built afterward for a pitch deck.

  • Live, school-wise session and attendance tracking on our monitoring portal
  • Documented setbacks — power, connectivity, hardware — and what we changed
  • Photo and press documentation from every school, every phase
  • Independent jury scoring at every district expo
  • Government/DIET endorsement letters and coordination records
  • A phase-close report built for board presentation, not marketing

Who makes a DLI Foundation programme possible

One implementation team, working alongside a funder and an academic or government partner.

IMPLEMENTATION

DLI Foundation

The CSR wing of De' Lead International — curriculum, trainers, kits, monitoring and expos, run as one accountable team across India and the UAE.

FUNDING & CSR

Your organisation

CSR partners fund a phase and get school-wise visibility throughout, the way Walkaroo Foundation has for four consecutive phases of Walk2Lead.

ACADEMIC / GOVERNMENT

DIET & education departments

State training institutes and education departments provide endorsement, school selection and coordination, turning a private initiative into a system-level intervention.

Let's plan your CSR programme.

Tell us the geography, the age group and the budget you're working with, and we'll come back with a phased plan — the same kind Walkaroo Foundation has funded four times over.
