PROJECT 1: KEEPING KIDS IN SCHOOL   (NEW COVID19 relief  project)

 At the moment, there about 400 families at the Sri Narayani Vidyalaya School who are indicating they won’t be able to pay their school fees in July.  We need your help to keep these children in school, either by … giving with gratitude a one-off donation, or agreeing to sponsor a child for the 2020-2021 school year.

PROJECT 2:   FREE HEALTH CHECK-UPS FOR MOTHERS AND CHILDREN 

The health needs in the Jawathu Hills area are vast, with poor diet, hard labour on the farming land, very traditional practices and lack of education, influencing common and preventable ailments. 
Through funding by Help-A-School Foundation, free health check ups are being conducted for mothers and children as a monthly outreach program, (consisting of a general practitioner, pharmacist, dentist and sometimes other specialist doctors) who travel to these village areas on a rotational basis. These medical checks now include checking for symptoms of COVID19.

PROJECT 4: RESOURCES FOR VILLAGE SCHOOLS

Over the past few years, Help-A-School Foundation has supplied books, stationery, sports equipment and class resources for schools in remote village areas. We also worked with local carpenters in Tamil Nadu to build student desks for the village schools. We have been very excited to be able to provide desks, (making classrooms more comfortable for learning), and also to create work for local people as well. ​

​Due to the generosity of our sponsors we currently support 12 children at the Karunalaya Children's Home in Vellore. These children are either orphans or struggling in their family unit to provide for the wellbeing needs of the children. During our last two study tours to India with teachers, we have been ale to visit the children and share letters and gifts from their sponsor at home. A joyful experience!
