Our Story
Aariya Shah, Founder of The Shiksha Project and author of Morality Tales & Health is Wealth, has always believed in the quiet but transformative power of stories.
A student of Bombay International School, she began her journey in education while volunteering with BODH in 2022, conducting storytelling sessions for children aged 8–18. Through these sessions, Aariya saw firsthand how stories could nurture empathy, strengthen language skills, and encourage young people to think deeply about values and the world around them.
Inspired by this, she went on to develop The Shiksha Project with a vision to make meaningful, values-based learning accessible to children across India.
Since then, she has collaborated with NGOs, schools, and learning centres nationwide, training educators and developing structured curricula focused on moral, health, and holistic education. Her approach combines storytelling with practical, interactive learning experiences that are both engaging and inclusive.
At the heart of her work is a simple yet ambitious vision: to make values education practical, scalable, interactive, and accessible, one story at a time.
