Who We Are

iLAB (Innovation Laboratory Society) is a non-profit dedicated to helping Kerala’s coastal communities learn, earn, and thrive. Since 2016, we’ve worked alongside children, young people, and women, breaking cycles of poverty, building confidence, and creating opportunities for a brighter future. Our work is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves a fair shot at education, digital skills, and dignified livelihoods.

• Inclusion: Everyone deserves a chance to grow.
