Hello,
I still get taken back everytime I walk around the communities in India, children on the street asking for a pen so they can go to school and learn rather than asking for food or money. This is a culture where they know they can fight the poverty cycle themselves through education.
It's such a great thing to see a community trying to help themselves, while this isn't everyone it is one of the only countries I have seen this sort of determination from children within a community and that is why I had to get involved with this project.
It's such a simple thing, providing stationery for the children, funding a hot meal as it is proven children learn and retain information if they are not hungry. Therefore these are the top two priorities for our project and any additional donations we get we use to help fund school text books, reading books and art supplies.
We had some lovely donations over the past 3 months and these are now in India and have already purchased stationery for 2 out of the 15 schools we support, thank you to everyone that made this possible!
Thank you,
Introduction
This project is investing in training women to help find work as well as enhancing education, for students, to build a skilled community that are equipped to fight the cycle of poverty..
Report
Many complex issues still persist in India surrounding gender equality and equal access to quality education for different sectors of society. Women, young people, rural students and those with special educational needs face various different challenges when it comes to accessing employment and vocational training that could lead to a sustainable livelihood. Our programmes support, empower and increase employment opportunities for women, students, and marginalised people in India. We do this by promoting and supporting gender equality initiatives, improving dynamic learning and teaching environments, and providing support to local educational institutions so that they can provide better and more equal access to quality education and vocational training. We have raised $50 so far.
Please remember the little by little campaign in April where if you donate up to $50, GlobalGiving will match it at 50%.
Thank you for your support

Introduction
Many families in India are stuck in the cycle of poverty. In 2010 Indian Parliament passed an Act to provide free compulsory education for all but today girls are still forced to drop out at a young age to help at home. This project is investing in training women to help find work as well as enhancing education, for students, to build a skilled community that are equipped to fight the cycle of poverty.
