Dear Friends and Donors,

Namaste! Happy Diwali to you and your family.

Thank you so much for your continued support and partnership with this project for the past 15 years on GlobalGiving. Because you have stood by us year after year, hundreds of children from marginalized communities have broken the cycle of poverty and built brighter futures. You are the heartbeat of this mission.

Here are the wonderful updates you made possible this quarter:

1. Great Success in the Classroom

100% Pass Rate: All 120 students at Rainbow Upper Primary School passed their annual examinations for the 2025 academic year and have successfully transitioned into their next classes for 2026.

Moving Up: 12 bright students graduated from the 7th grade and transitioned smoothly into high school, supported by our auto-transportation service for high-schoolers from the slum.

Higher Education Dreams: 10 of our older alumni successfully cleared their 10th-grade public board exams and secured admissions into Junior Intermediate (+2) colleges to pursue higher education in their chosen fields.

2. Growing Our Evening Learning Centers

Daily Tutoring & Care: Our centers in Swarna Bharathi Nagar and Lingayapalem continue to provide daily tutoring, homework assistance, and safe learning spaces for over 150 children.

Lingayapalem Milestone: Our second evening learning center in Lingayapalem has successfully completed one year of operation, providing care and education to 40 children.

3. Essential Food & Safe Transportation

Nutritious Daily Meals: We provided hot, healthy midday meals and evening snacks every single day so our students can stay healthy and focused on their studies.

Free Safe Transport: We provided auto-transportation support for 20 high school students. Covering their travel costs ensures they never drop out due to long or unsafe commutes to school.

Financial Update & Looking Ahead

During this quarter, we received US $712 through GlobalGiving. Thank you so much for your trust and support! Every dollar was directly utilized for daily nutrition, student transportation, learning materials, and teacher support.

To keep these vital programs running, we humbly request your continued support to help us cover:

1. : Ensuring our dedicated teaching staff are paid on time.
2. School SuTeacher Salariespplies: Providing essential textbooks, notebooks, bags, and uniforms.
3. Daily Nutrition Bills: Keeping our hot meal program running uninterrupted.
4. Our Big Vision: Strengthening our English-medium learning initiatives to equip these children with strong language and communication skills for higher education and future careers.

Thank you for 15 years of unwavering love, trust, and partnership. You are transforming young lives every single day.

With deep gratitude and Happy Diwali,
