My request:
You must be the change you want to see in the world. ~~ Mahatma Gandhi
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! |
