Back to School - 300 Children in India

The Don Bosco veedu organisation has always supported children's education. We recently found 10 children who were having difficulty attending online classes owing to a shortage of smart phones, which have been the primary means of accessing online education platforms since the epidemic began. The children were discovered as part of one of our projects, MIRACLE, which aims to provide financial assistance for schooling to children who lack primary caregivers. Students were using their father's or mother's or a neighbor's phone for courses, and they were frequently unable to attend due to a lack of availability during class time.

With the support of GlobalGiving contributors and local sponsors, the Don Bosco Veedu Society was able to raise enough money to purchase ten smart phones for each of them, allowing them to attend every educational session without skipping a beat. Each smart phones cost around 8000 INR.

Don Bosco Veedu society has been working for the children who are at risk since 1991. The organisation has been rescuing the children who are found to be vulnerable in streets and other life situations with risk factors such as child labour, poverty, malnourishment etc. These children were rescued from such situations and were given shelter at the temporary  homes of Don Bosco Veedu Society.

Most of these children lack education since they have not been provided with an opportunity for schooling. We facilitate these children with better opportunity for getting educated. During the current year we were able to admit around 40 children to school. They are provided with new clothes and new notebooks for them to begin their saga for getting educated. As the process of imparting them a feeling of thirst to get educated the organisation has organised a function which was titled as “Praveshanolsavam – 2021” (praveshanam - entry, ulsavam – Fest) and the education materials were gifted to the children during the function.

The mass provision of notebooks were only made possible only by the kind donation of GlobalGiving donors due to which the children were benefited by the education supplies and are ready
