Sponsor clothing and school supplies for a poor child

Chaitra Uday Kodiya is a ten-year old-little-girl studying in 5 at the Government Higher Primary School at Ajjibala in Sirsi Taluk. Chaitra comes from a poor agricultural family and the total family income doesn't even suffice to provide the members decent nutritious food. Workers from Manuvikasa provided Chaitra with basic amenities like notebooks and shoes so that she can continue pursuing an education in a dignified manner. After the organization's intervention, Chaitra has taken a keen interest in her studies, with Social Science, Kannada and Science becoming her favorite subjects. On one side, where Chaitra couldn't bring herself to communicate properly, on the other side, she has now taken a liking to dancing and aspires to become a teacher someday.

Manuvikasa has initiated a project to provide educational material to students hailing from underprivileged backgrounds. The organization has identified a number of children between Grade 5 to 10, who are in desperate need of financial help to continue their education. After the initial process of selecting the beneficiaries, the volunteers visit their schools and ascertain the family's economic condition before providing them with the study material - like notebooks, school bags, raincoats, and shoes. Workers from the organization visit the homes of their beneficiaries from time to time to ensure optimum utilization of the supplies and to keep a check on the academic progress made.
