ART+ Charity Supply Chain
TAL has created an ART+ ecosystem whereby they guarantee Accountability, Responsibility and Traceability.

The TAL Platform also acts as a School ERP Solution. By using this Smart School ecosystem (https://touchalife.hk), there is a one click access to schools for sharing their concerns, needs, and progress. Schools upload their needs and in response TAL teams visit the schools to verify the requests made. Once the request is verified, TAL Foundation approves the request and creates a project attaching other beneficiaries whose needs align. At the time of project creation, the sponsors are notified. They can then choose to support these projects, by sponsoring the entire project or even supporting specific beneficiaries within the project scope through TAL digital platforms and become a part of the cause of education access.
TAL focus projects:
-Books for change provides a full set of syllabus-based books to Grade 9 and 10 students in Maharashtra’s most destitute and underprivileged villages. 94,964 books have been distributed in the last 4 years where a scanning process for students’ id cards is followed and the same is also used for the donor so that they can get the details.
-E-learning Classrooms & Computer training Labs provide technical hardware provision to the partner underprivileged schools across Maharashtra, India.
-Smart School (Road to Digitalization) provides an ERP system in such a way that all data of students (including academic records, attendance, QR-based ID card numbers), teachers, schools, donors, vendors, etc. are included. All the data is systematically captured, and reports of projects/events can be extracted as per specific requirements.
