The project, Productive 500 skilled youth for young India through Global giving has supported 27 youth for continuing their education; All the 27 has completed their examinations, among them two youth has completed their full course and employed in private companies, one girl with pharmacy company and another software institutions. Both were happy with the current situation and they also happily share that they are support the family income, which we never felt that will happen in our life. The timely support from Vasavya Mahila Mandali has made us to get good scoring in our examinations and also their support in our employment.
The project design has really helped the youth who are in needy position of continuing education, especially till 10+2 the cost for education is minimal and after then graduation or professional courses the cost is high. The youth living in slum areas where the family income is very low, where as the family size is around 5 members on an average, the average family income is around INR 3500/- (54 USD) per month, within that they have need to pay to shelter, clothing and food, there is no money for the children’s education. Even though they have strong desire to support their children education but with all these barriers they were unable to continue their children’s education.
The project, Productive 500 skilled youth for young India has really gave hope for the youth and their parents. The fate of youth has changed through the support from crowd funding, now their desire again has risen hope to fulfill their dreams of good professional education.
For youth studying engineering graduation needs tuition fees INR 75,000/- (1154 USD) stationary INR – 5000/- (76 USD) apart from food and travel expenses. Which they can’t meet from their family income and through crowd funding support we are able to fulfill their needs to an extent and this support is motivating them to continue their education in an effective manner. The performance of youth has increased when compared to their previous scoring in their respective subjects. Your continuous support will make many families to live happily through educating their youth.
