Educational materials for school girls in India

Sahasra Deepika
Bangalore, India

THE ORGANIZATION

Sahasra Deepika, which means "a thousand lights", is a home and school for underprivileged girls. The school aims to develop the girls’ intellectual, social, and academic potential so that they can feel self-empowered and contribute to the community at large.

The project

Sahasra Deepika uses funds from Kids First to purchase necessary textbooks, notebooks, stationery, and workbooks for their 65 students for a full school year curriculum so that the girls can complete their studies. The school has increasing enrollment and the Kids First grant for these educational materials makes a significant difference for them as they expand.
