In the community I belong to the literacy rate is very low, unemployment is on the peak, people even don’t know about their basic rights and responsibilities.
The received funds could not cover all the students therefore, we identified the most deserving students and bought necessary and required materials for the students. The materials included the following: School bags, books, stationary for the students and the centre both. Following is the breakup of the materials bought for both the centre and the children.

Were you able to meet all your objectives? And how has this funding benefitted your project and the community members in general?
We have been able to achieve the objectives set for this centre. Starting from a very few students and a room without any facility we now today have been able to give initial education to more than 70 students. These were the children whose parents wanted them to be educated like others but due to their childrens' empty stomachs and naked bodies, put feeding and clothing in priority rather than educating them. Provision of initial education to such children was the sole and main objective of this centre.
The funding provided benefitted our project in many ways. Essentials things that we were surviving without were bought by this fund. This fund has been a source of relief for those deserving parents whose children are now admitted in schools but did not have money to buy uniforms, bags and stationary for them. This funding not only has provided relief to the parents and community in general but also has paved the way of sustainability and regularity of the children in the centre which would ultimately play a vital role in the promotion of literacy in the community and at the end of the day in the world.
