Our free programs run through TalkMaze Foundation
Every student deserves to be heard. TalkMaze has given coaching away since 2020, through free workshops and sponsored seats. TalkMaze Foundation now runs that work as two programs, both free for every student.
The first cohort, India, 2023
01 · Cohorts
The first cohort ran in 2023 with the JIVAM Foundation in India, working alongside local staff who knew what their students needed. Sessions ran in Hindi wherever that let every student take part fully. That partnership has finished.
Cohorts run today in Pakistan, with Developments in Literacy, built the same way: small groups coached over several weeks, alongside the organization delivering them, in the language students think in most naturally, and designed to work in classrooms with limited connectivity. Every cohort ends with a showcase for family and community.
02 · SpeechMaze
A global speaking championship, free for students ages 5 to 14 in any country. Students record a speech at home, three judges write them a report, and the top speakers meet at a live final. 106 students from 33 countries took part in 2026. Inside SpeechMaze
Programs are led by Zoyesh Irfan, Founding Director, with volunteer coaches in Canada, Romania and Pakistan. The Foundation's own site has the current programs and how partnerships are built.
