DISHA has raised $4.6M in Series A funding from General Catalyst. The round marks a notable bet on the nonprofit's model of pairing basic education with practical training for underprivileged children and youth.
DISHA focuses on life skills education for poor youth, alongside instruction in information and communication technology, environment, health, and agriculture. The aim, according to the organization, is to give students training that helps them earn a livelihood and solve problems themselves while they're still learning.
