About Dost Education

Dost Education is a U.S.-based, tax-exempt (EIN 82-0670099) nonprofit founded in 2017 that develops family-first, low-tech and digital interventions to improve early childhood learning in India. The organization uses tools such as brief audio phonecasts (IVR), WhatsApp nudges, community engagement and partnerships with local systems (e.g., Anganwadi workers) to equip caregivers of all literacy levels with practical strategies to support children’s language, socio-emotional skills, and school readiness.

Dost operates as a donor-facing charity with an active website, published impact and annual reports, and completed third-party evaluations in recent years. Its recent work (2022–2025) includes independent impact measurement, multi-site implementation studies with government-facing frontline workers, and public-facing publications and media features that document program design and lessons learned.

Financially and administratively the organization files U.S. Form 990s and reports program scaling and research activity publicly; recent filings show the organization operating at a multi-hundred-thousand to low‑million dollar annual revenue scale while continuing investments in program evaluation and technology-enabled delivery models.

Notable achievements

Independent impact assessment completed

Commissioned an independent evaluation with a third‑party impact measurement firm (60 Decibels) during 2022–2023 to measure caregiver engagement and program outcomes; the assessment produced externally-verified qualitative and quantitative insights that Dost has used to refine its IVR and family‑engagement approaches.

Programmatic research and field studies

Carried out field studies and pilots in partnership with government frontline workers and research partners — including Anganwadi worker studies in Uttarakhand and Rajasthan (2024) and a multi‑round panel study (Bol Sathi, 2024–25) — to test scalable approaches for strengthening home‑based early learning.

Published annual and impact reports

Published an Annual Report (2023) and dedicated impact reports and newsletters documenting program design, monitoring data, and lessons learned to inform donors, partners, and policymakers.
