Educate 100 underprivileged girls. Let them dream.

Greetings from BREADS Bangalore!

Over the past six months, we have continued to support 125 disadvantaged girls, ensuring they access quality education and reach for a brighter future, free from the shadows of household chores, child labor, child marriage, or dropping out of school. Your generous support through the GlobalGiving platform has greatly supported these underprivileged girls, allowing them to pursue their dreams through education and quality living.

Between August 2023 to December 2024, we received a total of USD 1,603 from GlobalGiving, which has been fully utilized to provide comprehensive support for the education of these 125 girls. This assistance covered school fees, uniforms, educational materials, nutritious food, and medical care, empowering the girls to thrive academically and personally. We are delighted to report that all these girls have successfully advanced in their studies, achieving commendable results in their examinations and assessments.

These girls, many of whom come from vulnerable circumstances—including those at risk of child labor, child marriage, abuse, or from single-parent households—have found hope and stability through your invaluable contributions.

In addition to direct educational support, we continue to run programs designed to enhance life skills, foster teamwork, and build confidence among these children. Those admitted to our care homes received short-term bridge education (remedial support) before being enrolled in formal schooling.

We maintain regular contact with the children through our Don Bosco/BREADS staff to ensure their ongoing attendance at school and to improve their educational standards. They are encouraged to participate in evening tuition classes established in their villages by BREADS, using these facilities to enhance their educational performance and complete their school assignments with the guidance of mentors.

The children, along with BREADS and the local Don Bosco Centers, express our deepest gratitude to all our donors and GlobalGiving for their unwavering support and guidance. Your assistance has enabled around 125 children to complete another year of education and excel in their lives. We hope your continuous support will extend to more vulnerable children who are currently denied their right to education. We look forward to your continued support, as we aim to bring hope and education to even more children in need.

Thank you for your generosity and unwavering belief in the power of education!

 Dear Donors,

Greetings from BREADS Bangalore!

Over the past six months, we have positively impacted the lives of 125 disadvantaged girls, bringing smiles to their faces by ensuring they receive quality education instead of facing a future of household chores, child labor, child marriage, or dropping out of school. The support from various donors through the GlobalGiving platform has been a blessing for these underprivileged girls, enabling them to continue their education and excel both academically and personally.

During this period, the assistance provided to these girls included covering school fees, educational materials, nutritious food, and medical care. All 125 girls supported by GlobalGiving sponsors have benefited from this aid.

Since schools reopened in June 2024, we are happy to report that all the girls performed exceptionally well in their annual examinations/assessments and have been promoted to higher classes. Below are the details of the children, the classes they are studying in, and the areas where they are being supported.

 Thanks to the generosity and support, dear sponsors, as we have received an additional USD 593.46 from GlobalGiving during this reporting period. These funds have been fully allocated to the education of 125 disadvantaged children, covering school fees, uniforms, educational materials, and nutritious meals. These children live in vulnerable conditions, including those prone to child labor, child marriage, victims of child abuse, and those from broken families, single-parent households, or are orphans. In addition to the support from GlobalGiving sponsors, we have mobilized resources through local fundraising strategies.

 The most vulnerable children are staying at Don Bosco Care Institutions and continue their education there, while others receive direct education sponsorships. The children benefiting from GlobalGiving’s educational support have expressed their appreciation for another year of schooling and the learning experiences that have boosted their confidence and self-esteem.

 BREADS has organized various programs to enhance their life skills, nurture teamwork values, and improve interpersonal relationships. Over the past six months, 17 girls from vulnerable situations were rescued and either reunited with their families or placed in institutional care if they were orphans or from dysfunctional families. Some were admitted to Don Bosco Care Centers, where they received short-term bridge education (remedial education) before being enrolled in our schools to continue their formal education.

 We maintain regular contact with the children through our Don Bosco/BREADS staff to ensure their ongoing attendance at school and to improve their educational standards. They are encouraged to participate in evening tuition classes established in their villages by BREADS, using these facilities to enhance their educational performance and complete their school assignments with the guidance of mentors.

 The children, along with BREADS and the local Don Bosco Centers, express our deepest gratitude to all our donors and GlobalGiving for their unwavering support and guidance. Your assistance has enabled around 125 children to complete another year of education and excel in their lives. We hope your continuous support will extend to more vulnerable children who are currently denied their right to education.

 Thank you very much for your generosity,

Sincerely,
