Educate 100 orphan girls in rural India

Educational support for the young orphan girls are making a greater impact in helping the girls continue schooling despite the tough challenges that affect them. This year in March 2019, 11 girls have appeared for the Class 12 final Govt exams from families in which the adults have not even passed their school.

Shreena is 18 years old and is an orphan and looked after by her paternal grand father. Her mother died, when she was just 1 year old and her father also died at a very small age. The grand father supports the family with the income he gets through Iron pressing. The education and motivational support with uniform, note books, stationery materials and study notes through the GlobalGiving for the past years has helped Shreena not to burden her grandfather financially and completed her 12th standard, this year. She is planning to take up vocational course in beauty care and establish a centre on her own in her village.

Jothi is 17 years and is eldest daughter in the family. She has a sibling sister too and her both parents had died due to sickness, when they were very small. It  has been her uncle's family who have taken both Jothi and her sister to be with their family. Buds of Christ continued to provide the educational support for both girls and this has helped Jothi to complete her 12th standard and she aspires to be a teacher.

There are many such young orphan girls from poor families who have been able to complete their schooling and are moving forward to pursue their childhood dreams. Without this support, these girls would have given into Child Marriages which is a constant pressure that comes from the relatives and neighbours particularly if they are orphan children. Buds of Christ Charitable Trust is able to reach out, protect and educate these unreached rural girls with the support of GlobalGiving. Thank you GlobalGiving donors for helping us make a meaningful impact in the lives of orphan girls.
