When we saw preschool children in underserved Indian villages sitting all day in sparse rooms with little or no stimuli and no interaction, we decided to act — and we invited you to join us.
Our innovative solution was to develop a program that provides toys, training, and support so that children in critical developmental stages would receive engaging cognitive education.
Together with GlobalGiving and you, we have impacted the lives of over 120 children in remote and forgotten parts of Jharkhand, India by providing:
The impact of the project so far is clear: Children are happier, more engaged, and according to well-documented studies, far more likely to reach their potential.
In only six months, we have raised more than half of our $6,000 goal. This year, we will continue to work toward our goal of reaching 240 children in total in the state of Jharkhand. Thank you for being a part of it! Active support from people around the world is helping us give children in need important skills they can carry with them throughout their lives.
Please share our project with others and join our online community to follow updates of the impact we are making, together, every day.
With gratitude,
