My request:
Support Education in Villages - Educate a child and change a life today...
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.
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.
Today, there are more than 770 million illiterate people in the world, over 300 million children who are not enrolled in school, and hundreds of millions more lack access to books and libraries. Ninety-eight percent of these children live in developing countries, where extreme poverty prevents them from gaining an education.
You will see just how much joy and hope and lasting change your scholarship gift will bring to a child or family living in poverty.
Cause:
Scholarship to educate 5 children for a year in Isha Vidhya Village School (Rs.50,000)
Sponsoring a student represents a unique way to dramatically touch the life of a child. Each sponsor is matched with a student(s) and encouraged to donate yearly for the child's full education at Isha Vidhya. Sponsors receive regular updates on the student's progress, including letters from the student, photos, and academic progress reports. The school facilitates correspondences between the sponsors and students, and sponsors are welcome to visit their student at school, act as a mentor, and watch as the child grows and blossoms. The scholarship donation amount of (Rs 10000/USD 240/GBP 150) provides tuition, books, notebooks and nutritional health supplements for the scholarship student.
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! |
