About Isha Vidhya |

My request:
Hi :-)
If you wish to make an invaluable contribution in the life of a rural child by helping open the door to quality education, Isha Vidhya is the way!! I have been closely associated with the foundation for the last few years and feel its a great way to truly make a difference in supporting rural education.
Each time I view the report card of the child I sponsor and the note he/she writes to me, (Yes, they do update you on the progress of children!) - I feel joy that is unparallel :-)
Its a pleasure and honour to be inviting you to join this revolutionary wave!
Thanks & Regards,
Amrita
I have always wanted to do at least a little in helping make education accessible to those who cannot afford it. "Isha Vidhya" has been committed to this goal. Help me raise funds for this initiative. Donate to this cause using the 'Donate' link on this page.
Cause:
Raise Funds to help Isha Vidhya schools in one village.
70% of India lives in its villages. A vast majority of them are still in poverty. The only way to help them and their families to come out of their hopeless situations is through Education. Good quality education.
Isha Vidhya schools reach a segment which rarely gets a good deal . They provide high quality education to the rural poor. The schools, all located in the villages, have quality infrastructure built out of donations and sponsorships.
The clean, spacious, well ventilated classrooms, computers , other educational aids and extra teachers support and motivate even the weakest of learners to continue with school and ensure that they do actually learn.
Even the most underprivileged can afford it because of scholarships donated by our donors. In fact, the Isha Vidhya schools admit girl children and the most economically backward on a preferential basis.
Hardly any rural schools and that too those catering to the poor, are in English medium. Isha Vidhya schools teach in English because these kids deserve a chance to pursue higher education beyond school and blossom to their fullest potential anywhere that opportunity beckons.
No donation is too small (or too big!) to participate. Many thanks for your support - and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! |

Isha Vidhya, a non-profit education initiative of Isha Foundation is committed to raising the level of education and literacy in rural India and to helping rural, underprivileged children realize their full potential. The project seeks to ensure quality education for children in rural areas, opening the door for them to participate in and benefit from India's economic growth.
Featuring English- and computer-based education that is complemented by innovative methods for the overall development and blossoming of each student, Isha Vidhya schools empower rural children to meet future challenges.
Isha Vidhya schools distinguish themselves by...
- Offering affordable, high-quality education in rural areas
- Full scholarships for those who cant afford even the nominal fees.
- Taking education beyond literacy and rudimentary skills
- Empowering rural children to participate globally
- Actively promoting education of Female children, First generation school goers and across Tribal communities
- Increasing educational awareness in rural societies
- Preserving village identities and culture
There are currently 7 schools in operation at rural villages across Tamilnadu,India and each year the schools will expand one grade level until they run at full capacity with classes from lower kindergarten through 12th grade. The schools presently cater to 2,745 students from nearby villages , with approximately 60% of students supported by full scholarships. In the coming years, Isha Vidhya would set up several more such schools across many more villages in rural India.
Isha Vidhya functions on a grass-roots level, relying on community involvement and the support of innumerable volunteers and donors. Through this campaign and the below website, we invite you to learn more about Isha Vidhya and join us in our efforts to empower the rural youth of India!
