Support the nutrition of poor girls to aid education

Impact

Little Deepika is a resident of Kaduki Village in Alwar, Rajasthan, and the youngest student in her school, Sapna Sikshyalaya. When she joined the school she used to come wearing dirty clothes, without taking a bath. She couldn't converse with her teachers and classmates. Slowly and gradually, with invested efforts from the school teachers and their teaching methods, Deepika slowly started changing. She now comes to school tidily and on time. She interacts with everyone and now trusts the teachers enough to share her problems with them. The school works with a vision of empowering young girls from marginalized communities by providing them with a quality education.

About The Program

Sapna's 'Support the Girl Child' program 'Pankhuri' currently works with over 33 underprivileged girl children from the villages of Kaduki, Vijay Mandir and Thekra in the Alwar district of Rajasthan. Beneficiaries for the program are identified at the beginning of the academic year based on their family's economic condition. The girls are admitted to reputed schools and Sapna takes care of all their needs, including school fees, uniforms, books, and transport. The Program Coordinator monitors the academic progress of the girls in the schools. The girls covered in this program report to Vijay Mandir from where they are sent to school in a bus owned by Sapna. After school, the girls come to Vijay Mandir where they complete their homework with teacher assistance, attend library sessions, computer classes, and receive nutrition before going home. When you donate to this program, you will support the nutrition of underprivileged girls at Vijay Mandir.
