Let our children be comfortable in school, donate a bench with desk

At Suma Vidyalaya, an initiative of Suma Blessings Foundation, we are building a child-centered and inclusive learning environment based on the Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) model.

As part of our on-going efforts to provide dignified, safe, and effective learning spaces for underserved children, we aim to equip our classrooms with basic infrastructure, starting with classroom desks.

Currently, children attending our sessions (Pre-Primary to Grade 5) are seated on mats or bare floors due to a lack of seating infrastructure. This affects their posture, focus, writing ability, and sense of dignity. Providing child-friendly, two-seater desks will create a more structured learning environment and uplift the overall classroom experience at Suma Vidyalaya.

Why Desks Are Needed

• Physical Comfort & Posture: Children sit for long hours, and floor seating leads to discomfort and poor posture, especially during writing and group activities.
• Hygiene Concerns: Sitting on dusty floors poses health risks, especially in community-based and temporary learning spaces.
• Learning Efficiency: A proper seating arrangement supports concentration, writing, and classroom management.
• Dignity in Learning: A desk gives every child a sense of respect and ownership within the school environment.
• Optimized Use through Shifts: With 15 two-seater desks, we can accommodate 90 students daily through a 3-shift model (Pre-Primary, Grades 1–2, and Grades 3–5).
