Dear Friends and Donors,
Our hearts are full of gratitude for your incredible 12-year commitment to the children of Guntur’s slum communities.
Your continued support is a beacon of hope. During this quarter (November 2025 – February 2026), your generosity directly impacted approximately 250 children, providing the stable foundation of education and essential care that allows them to thrive.
Here is a summary of our progress:
Our Core Educational Impact
120 Students (Grades 1-7): Our Main Upper Primary School in Dasaripalem remains a safe haven, where 20 students advanced, and we welcomed a fresh intake of 30 new children.
150+ Children Reached: Our Evening Learning Centers (ELC) in Swarna Bharathi Nagar and Lingayapalem provide critical after-school support.
New Center: We proudly initiated a new center in a different area of the Lingayapalem slum, welcoming 40 more children.
Acedemic Success: The academic year is ending in April 2026, and all our students are successfully preparing for their annual exams.
Key Milestones and Holistic Care
Daily Midday Meals: We consistently provided daily meals and snacks, addressing critical nutritional needs.
Safe Passage: 20 high school graduates benefit from our safe auto transportation initiative, allowing them to attend school without the burden of travel expenses.
Critical 10th Class Exams: In a momentous step for our community, 10 of our students will begin their crucial 10th Class Exams in the third week of March 2026.
Our Urgent and Future Needs
While we received US $1,811 this quarter, we face urgent funding needs to sustain our daily operations. We appeal for your assistance with:
Staff Salaries
Educational Materials
Daily Meal Expenses
New Initiative: Model English Medium School
Looking forward, we are thrilled to announce a major expansion! Starting in June 2026, we will open a new Model English Medium Primary School, offering a level of education these children have only dreamed of. This initiative requires focused support, and we would be honored if you consider making a contribution to this new chapter.
English Medium School for Slum Children
Thank you for your partnership. Your generosity is a lifeline of learning and care that continues uninterrupted, changing these young lives every single day.
