Challenge

Lack of quality education is a primary factor preventing poverty stricken families from opportunities of growth. Without quality education, the underprivileged are unable to unlock their full potential and end up begging on the streets.*Chetan, a boy who grew up in the slums of Rajpipla defied all odds. Apart of the original children that enrolled in school in 2007. After supporting through GVT for 12 years he is now doing job in corporate unit.

Solution

GVT was the solution for *Chetan and will be for thousands of other children. By providing a support for education that addresses quality education often lacking in Gujarat's education system with qualified teachers through a holistic approach, children can become well rounded, independent individuals. GVT has given *Chetan the opportunity to gain enrollment into a Govt schools. With your help GVT will be able to do the same for other tribal children.

Long-Term Impact

Better education will allow children to break through the poverty cycle and help support their families, allowing them to pursue better opportunities, benefiting approx. 30000 others. The Free Of Cost School Program gave *Chetan access to new opportunities that he was able to utilise to completely turn his life around. He is able to support his family and community, allowing them to break through the poverty cycle
