British Asian Trust (BAT) is a diaspora-led international development organisation, delivering high-quality programmes in South Asia.
Alongside a consortium of partners, BAT has launched LiftEd, a first-of-its-kind initiative to strengthen foundational literacy and numeracy for millions of children across India. LiftEd was conceptualised during Covid-19 to address the catastrophic learning losses that children faced as a result of prolonged school closures.
