Educational Sponsorship for 120 Children - India

Dear Donors,

Greetings from IDEA Foundation!!!

IDEA sponsorship program is a great help to children like Arya. In India, many children are victims of alcoholism. In underprivileged communities, people easily get addicted to liquor and forget their family responsibilities. They don’t realize the importance of sending their children to school. Arya also belonged to such a family.

 Arya was just 6 years old when she migrated to Pune from a nearby village. As her father was alcoholic and had a criminal background, her mother had to take the bold decision of leaving him for the sake of her children. She didn’t have any idea about future. She realized that if she stays with him she will never be able to send her children to school.

But she did not have any income to educate her children. So she left her hometown and migrated to Pune in search of some job to support her children, she got a job as a domestic help but her income wasn’t sufficient to send her children to school. But she knew the importance of education and decided to educate her children somehow. She came to know about IDEA sponsorship program and applied for sponsorship for her daughter. We understood her situation and decided to support Arya with our sponsorship program for deserving children. Arya is under the sponsorship of IDEA from the first standard.

 IDEA is proud to inform you that Arya successfully completed 10^th standard this year with an excellent score of 87.8%. Arya is not only good in studies, she actively participates in all extracurricular activities. She understands that she has to make use this opportunity and bring out the best in her. She is a good writer and speaks fluent English. She writes very good essays with her original ideas. As you may be knowing our sponsorship program focus on the all round development of children, not just financial support . 

  Arya’s mother is thankful to IDEA foundation for giving her daughter an opportunity to study and come up well in life. Our career guidance programs helped her to understand different opportunities for a career according to her talents and abilities. She has taken up commerce stream in 11^th. She is planning to clear UPSC exams and work in a government firm. IDEA is wishing her all the best for a bright future.

When we see children like her, we feel content and happy that our efforts have been fruitful. This year the program sponsored a total of 255 children of which 158 were girls. 

We are thankful to each one of you for making it possible for us.
