Education for 1000 slum children in Goa

Dear Donor,

We are delighted to share that our Education Support for Underprivileged Children project has continued to remain on GlobalGiving for many years. This has been possible because of the unwavering support of donors like you, who have stood with us year after year. Your generosity has enabled thousands of children from underserved communities to complete their education, pursue brighter opportunities, and break the cycle of poverty. You are truly the heartbeat of this mission.

For the past 27 years, El Shaddai Charitable Trust has remained committed to creating a safe, secure, and brighter future for underprivileged children. We work to protect children from exploitation and risk while supporting and improving the lives of children, youth, women, and families living in vulnerable circumstances.

Today, through our outreach education program, 1,000 slum children are receiving quality education, care, and continuous support. Guided by God's love and grace, El Shaddai provides compassionate care, protection, and holistic education that nurtures every child's physical, emotional, social, and academic development. We also focus on building critical life skills, strengthening decision-making abilities, and empowering children, families, and communities to become self-reliant and lead dignified lives.

Your support has made it possible to provide essential educational materials, including notebooks, school bags, uniforms, shoes, pens, and other learning resources. For many children whose parents are daily wage labourers, these basic necessities are often beyond their family's financial means. By easing this burden, you are helping children attend school regularly, remain motivated, and continue their education without interruption.

Every notebook, every school bag, and every opportunity you provide is an investment in a child's future. Because of your generosity, children who once faced uncertainty now have the confidence to dream, learn, and work towards a better tomorrow.

On behalf of the entire El Shaddai family and the 1,000 children whose lives you are transforming, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. Thank you for believing in our mission and for giving these children the opportunity to learn, grow, and build a future filled with hope.

With Gratitude!

El Shaddai Family!

Dear Friend,

El Shaddai extends our gratitude to all supporters and partners for your continued commitment and support of our mission to serve children and families. Your generous donations have not only impacted our children from slums and the streets but have consistently been the driving force in enhancing the lives of outreach workers who have dedicated their time and effort to our children.

We are so grateful for everything you have done for our children. For many children from vulnerable communities, especially girls, attending school regularly is not a given; it is a daily struggle. Poverty, migration, child labour, family instability, trauma, and learning gaps often force children to miss school, not because they lack ability, but because they lack support. Over time, irregular attendance leads to poor academic performance and, eventually, school dropouts. This project is a focused initiative aimed at restoring learning continuity and improving school attendance among at-risk children. Through community-based learning centres, the project addresses the root causes of absenteeism and creates a supportive, engaging environment where children can reconnect with education.

At El Shaddai, an outreach worker has taken on the remarkable task of providing education to over 700 children, a number that is hard to fathom given the challenging circumstances. However, we remain confident that they will achieve this, fueled by their mission and your steady support. El Shaddai organised a series of community-based and child-focused activities aimed at enhancing the quality of life and promoting positive values. These activities included creative learning sessions. Children participated in structured learning, sports, art therapy, and group activities, leading to reduced screen time, improved academic and social skills, and better emotional regulation.

By donating to our cause, you are keeping children learning. Together, we can keep hundreds in school by transforming poor attendance into regular learning, renewed hope, and real opportunity. Because every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and dream.

With Gratitude

El Shaddai Family!
