Back to School - 300 Children in India

Don Bosco veedu society has been supporting children in education since years. We recently identified three children who were finding it difficult for attending online classes as well as coaching classes for entrance examination due to lack of smart phones which are the major access for online education platform since the pandemic. The children were identified through one of our project titled IMPACT which aims in providing free entrance coaching for the children who aim for entrance examination for their higher studies and are not able to afford going for advanced entrance coaching classes.

These children are very brilliant in studies and has acquired excellent scores in their annual examinations. They were constantly missing out the sessions through online since they joined the coaching classes. We conducted a home visit for the children who were missing out sessions and interacted with them. The reason for them for not attending was they did not have any smart phones for them to attend the sessions conducted. They were using the smart phones of their father or mother or some neighbour for the classes and mostly they face the lack of availability during the scheduled time of sessions.

Don Bosco Veedu Society with the help of GlobalGiving donors as well as local sponsors was able to mobilise the fund for buying them three smart phones each so that they can attend every educative session without any delay. Each smart phones cost around 8000 INR.
