About us
Your helping hand in Kolkata
Quabit is a community initiative working to improve access to education and healthcare for families who need it most — starting in Kolkata, West Bengal.

Our story
Why Quabit exists
In every neighbourhood of Kolkata there are children who are bright and eager but falling behind at school, and families who put off seeing a doctor because they cannot afford to lose a day's wages.
Quabit — the name stands for being your helping hand — was started to offer practical, respectful help with both. We believe education and health are deeply connected: children who are unwell miss school, and families facing medical bills often cannot afford books.

We are at the beginning of this journey. Our programmes are still being planned, and we are not yet a registered organisation. We think it is important to say so plainly — and to earn trust step by step through what we actually do.

Mission & vision
What we are working towards
Our mission
To improve access to quality education and basic healthcare for underserved families in Kolkata, through practical, community-led support delivered with dignity.
Our vision
A Kolkata where every child can learn with confidence and every family can get the care they need — whatever their income.
Core values
How we behave, every day
Dignity first
We treat every person as a partner, not a project. No one is photographed or written about without informed consent.
Honesty
We report what is true and verifiable — and say clearly when information is not yet available.
Community-led
We listen to families, teachers and health workers, and design our work around what communities tell us they need.
Safety
Children and vulnerable adults come first. Our safeguarding rules apply to everyone who works with us.
Accountability
We plan to publish reports on what we do and how every rupee is used once we begin operating.
Compassion
We work with patience and kindness, recognising that small, consistent help often matters most.
History & milestones
Where we are on the journey
We will add milestones here as they happen — not before.

Building the foundations
Bringing together founding volunteers, planning our first programmes in education and healthcare, and setting up the policies that will guide our work.
- Next steps
Registration and first programmes
Formally registering the organisation, opening donations through a secure payment provider, and starting our first pilot programmes. Each step will be recorded here when it is complete.
Our approach
How we plan to work
A simple, repeatable way of working that puts communities and evidence first.

Listen first
We speak with families, teachers, health workers and local groups to understand what is actually needed before we plan anything.
Plan with partners
We design each initiative with schools, clinics and community organisations, so our work complements existing services rather than duplicating them.
Deliver with care
Trained, background-checked volunteers and qualified professionals deliver our programmes, following our safeguarding and volunteer guidelines.
Measure honestly
We keep simple, consent-based records — attendance, check-ups, learning progress — so we can tell what is working.
Report openly
We publish what we did, what it cost and what changed, including what didn’t go to plan.
