Story

Children from slum schools are rapidly dropping out of education and being robbed of a life out of poverty!

25,000 students in Maharashtra were found out of school during a survey conducted in the pandemic, educationists urged authorities to redo the survey later as the current figures as per them are grossly underreported.-Hindustan Times

Of these, the highest share—10,820—is from Mumbai.-Times of India

Barefoot Edu Foundation and Gurukul High school along with 20 slum schools in Mumbai are raising funds for

  1. Scholarships for 1000 students to keep them in schools (Rs 4000 per student)
  2. Ensuring quality of education to keep these children learning and THRIVING (Rs 2000 per student)

By donating Rs 6000 you can ensure that these children receive quality education for a whole year!

This fundraiser is an initiative of Barefoot Edu Foundation and Gurukul school in Mumbai and will help 21 schools keep 1,000 of their high-risk children learning and thriving during COVID. 

Strategy: The 9-12th standard is where schools see the highest number of dropouts due to a lack of funds and urgency to earn. Making it this far is a big deal for these children that have demonstrated conviction. 

How will your donations be used by schools and Barefoot?

Pay for home learning worksheets for students, retain teaching staff to support learning at home in difficult learning conditions and improve the quality of online teaching.

Barefoot Edu Foundation supports these schools well beyond academics, ensuring that children learn, play and participate in co-curricular activities, and are supported emotionally. You can be assured that these children will indeed receive a wholesome education.

Reporting:

All donors will be emailed with a progress update briefing you on the impact that your donation has made by Christmas 2021.

If you sponsor a child’s education for a year (Rs 6,000) you will receive an additional postcard from the school updating you on that child’s progress.
