Our team
Built by students.
For students.
A student-led effort, supported by mentors, volunteers, and school communities who believe every child deserves a chance to build.
The people behind SAFE
A small team.
A shared purpose.
SAFE Foundation began as a student-led effort by Aarush Pancholi, focused on making practical STEM education easier to access for students who rarely get those tools early.
The work is still intentionally lean. We identify schools with real need, set up durable learning spaces, and build partnerships that keep supporting students after the first lab opens.
Mentors, student volunteers, school partners, and local communities help each lab take shape.
Guidance behind the work
SAFE's growth is guided by the advice and mentorship of Mr. Bansan Thomas George. His guidance helps keep the work practical, accountable, and focused on lasting impact.
