For donations from Australia

Education Assist

For a small annual donation of $20-40 you can support the educational needs of a child from a poor and needy family.

So many families in India struggle every day to find sufficient food and shelter. Given these struggles, education of the children is not a priority. This is ironic because education of these children is the only way for the family to rise above poverty in the future. Even if a child is able to get access to a government school without fees they are often unable to pay for the necessary books and uniforms. The lack of books and uniforms can be distressing for students and in numerous cases leads to punishment and shame, even suicide on occasion.

Through our Education Assist program donors have an opportunity to pay for the annual school fees, books and uniforms for a student and ensure that they have the chance of a brighter future.

Through your donation we can help many more children and students continue with their studies so that they too may have a bright future.

For more information on children who require help through our Education Assist program please email us.

Harika and her sister Neeraja (pictured at right with their mother and Shane) were attending university thanks to their hard working father. Harika is in her second year of Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Neeraja is in her first year of Bachelor of Science (Genetics). 6 months ago the girls' father suffered hir third heart attack, this time extremely severe and he is now unable to work. No work means no money so Harika and Neeraja were unable to pay their fees and were being forced to leave university. We have been able to help these girls with their university fees and they are now continuing with their studies.
