Help a Student become a Graduate

From Loss to Success: Karthika's 5 Job Offers

Karthika’s mother, Dhakshayani, worked 365 days as a housemaid for over 20 years to educate her.

In 3rd standard, Karthika’s father passed away suddenly. They lived in a small one-room rented home. Her dad wanted to be recognized as Karthika’s father. She promised to make it happen.

Karthika completed 12th grade but she couldn’t join college due to their financial situation. Her mother’s dream was to see her as a graduate.

Someone like me fundraised for Karthika’s college education. She did her undergraduation with Team Everest scholarship.

Karthika did not disappoint. She got 5 job offers from Accenture, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, Capgemini, and Sutherland. Individuals like you and me can change lives if we can sponsor their education through Team Everest scholarship.

Team Everest scholarship has sponsored 3600+ children like Karthika since 2016. In 2024, they look to sponsor 1000 new students.

I am fundraising to help at least 1 student join college. The students are Parentless, Single Parented, and Financially Poor. Support my fundraiser and together let’s educate a child and change their story forever!
