Introduction
India is struggling. We have all seen how the health system has come to a fault across India due to COVID and the infection rate is rising at an alarming number. On 1st June Schools across India were due to open for their 2021/22 academic year and most schools did open but only offering online learning due to the global pandemic and the spread across India.
Our project aims to fund the school fees of 25 local children to attend school, these children have been identified from families where poverty means traditionally they would be kept out of school to help with family chores. By working with the families and providing a quality education to these students we are able to help them break the poverty cycle by accessing employment after graduation and becoming ambassadors to help us fight all global issues. This is a long term project but with high levels of success..
Report
As well as the 25 students at our local school we also fund a further five girls that stay in a local care facility as they have lost their families at a young age. With the support of your donations we hope to continue their support from age 5 to 18. It currently costs $125 a year per student to attend the local school.
Since COVID is causing more issues we are about to start working with our school to see what further local initiatives we can do to support the wider community with their fight against COVID.
Every donation made to this project is helping us get another child back into education and providing them with a future, we thank you for being apart of our project.
