Vision, Mission & Problem Statement
End poverty sustainably and inclusively in India’s poorest districts
Enable intergenerational social mobility for youth in India’s poorest districts
We are addressing the problem of lack of aspiration, career awareness, job readiness skills, and job opportunities for youth in Bihar.
Potential means that your birth should not determine where you end up in life; yet, in much of Bihar, birth is destiny.
What would it look like if the child of a landless day laborer had the opportunities and support to believe that truly anything is possible?

Our Programs
eArthshala
eArthshala, our 15-acre campus will be a game-changing space for grassroots leadership and sustainable development. The design of the campus reflects ecologically aligned design, demonstrates sustainable practices, and prioritizes local skill training and employment opportunities.
As part of Project Potential, eArthshala aims to support the organization's strategies and expand its future scope.
"
Project Potential is my favorite organization in India due to their inclusive, joyful, and service-oriented team members. I have had the fortune of visiting and witnessing the work since 2013, and the growth in strategy, and scale has left me very inspired, every time.
Theatre, dance, reading circles, community building, games, and time with nature are all ways of PP. Their eArthshala space is full of possibilities and love. PP's grand vision and acts of kindness set an example for the entire ecosystem, and I feel privileged to witness their journey and growth.
