If you think education is expensive try ignorance

Hello Everybody

Namaste!

Best Wishes to you all for the festive season. 

For this update I thought I would tell you about our programmes to help girls particularly.

Here are some of the measures…

We have more than 50% female staff and teachers many of whom are in senior management.  

Girls in all our schools and centres are given extra encouragement.

Girls at our flagship school at Dhobi can avail of a special support programme which works with the whole family to keep girls at school.

We have TOP (the opportunity programme) which offers sponsored places for further academic studies and courses in further education

Please be assured that our schools are providing quality education to the poor whom otherwise would not have the chance to receive it.

Like Kanchan, (student at Dhobi School. the name has been changed)

“Because there is a programme at our school for girls only where the people first staff and my teachers sometimes talk to my parents and they have signed a bond which says I can be in full time education for as long as I need it. I work very hard but I enjoy my school very much and I want to be a doctor for animals. I was first position in my class and my family is very proud. My school being a people first school is free to all the poor children but because I am part of the education for girls programme I get extra money for books and school materials and uniform, and the Trust has made sure that my parents support me. I want to thank you for your support very much and wish you and your families well”.

 Your support helps so many students especially girls and we thank you so much for your much-needed help and assistance.

Thank you all
