Back to Class, part of Educate to Save (educatetosave.com), keeps at-risk children in rural India enrolled in school through verified fee concessions. We support orphans, children of farmers lost to suicide, and daughters of widows who risk dropping out because their families cannot pay fees. Just $100 covers a full year of school for one child, keeping them in the same classroom instead of pushing them into child labor or early marriage. Help a child stay in class.
In rural India, thousands of children risk dropping out of school simply because their families cannot afford fees. These include orphans, children of farmers lost to suicide, and daughters of widows working multiple jobs to survive. For these families, even modest school costs are out of reach. Once a child stops attending, they rarely return - pushed instead toward child labor or early marriage, losing the one path that could break their cycle of poverty.
Back to Class, run by Educate to Save, identifies and verifies at-risk students already enrolled in our partner schools and grants them fee concessions to continue their education. Local staff confirm each case through home visits before approval. Just $100 covers one child's full year of school fees, keeping them in the same classroom with the same teachers and friends, rather than uprooting or losing them from the education system entirely.
Every child kept in school breaks a cycle of poverty. Educated children are far less likely to face child labor or early marriage, and often become the first in their family to finish school or pursue higher education. Beyond the individual, this strengthens entire communities - proving that a family facing hardship can still raise a doctor, teacher, or engineer, and inspiring others to keep their own children enrolled.
