Dear Friends and Donors,
Namaste! Heartfelt greetings to you from the entire BASS team.
We are so happy to share that our project has entered its 15th year on GlobalGiving. Because you have stood by us year after year, hundreds of slum children have graduated and broken the cycle of poverty. You are the heartbeat of this mission. Here are the wonderful updates you made possible this quarter:
1. Great Success in the Classroom
100% Pass Rate: All 120 children at our Rainbow Upper Primary School passed their annual exams in April!
Moving Up: 12 bright students graduated from the 7th grade and are moving to high school.
College Admissions: 10 of our older alumni passed their difficult 10th-grade public board exams. They have all secured admissions into +2 Intermediate colleges!
2. Growing Our Evening Learning Centers
Daily Support: Our centers in Swarna Bharathi Nagar and Lingayapalem continue to provide daily tutoring and safe spaces for over 150 children.
New Center: Our new evening center in another part of the Lingayapalem slum, welcoming 40 new children to our family continuing.
3. Food and Safe Travel
Nutritious Meals: We provided hot, healthy midday meals and snacks every single day so our children can focus on studying.
Free Transport: We provided safe auto-transportation for 20 high school students. By paying their travel expenses, we make sure they never have to drop out because of long, dangerous walks to school.
4. Our Urgent Future Needs
We received US $962 through GlobalGiving this quarter. Every dollar was instantly spent on food, transport, and classroom needs. Thank you so much!
As we begin the new school year, we face an urgent funding gap. We humbly ask for your continued help to cover:
Teacher Salaries: Paying our dedicated staff on time.
School Supplies: Buying fresh textbooks, notebooks, and uniforms.
Daily Food Bills: Keeping our vital nutrition program running.
Our Big Vision: we have Launched new Model English Medium School branch to give these children excellent English language skills for their future careers.
Thank you for your 15 years of love and support. You are changing these young lives every single day.
With deep gratitude,
