Dear Patrons,
A very warm greetings from Isha Vidhya, your project,
which is continuously striving to educate the underprivileged
rural children of India.
We would first of all like to thank from the bottom of
our hearts all our donors who have donated as well as
volunteered for Isha Vidhya in the past year through
Globalgiving.
We are happy to let you know that with all your support,
from January 1st, 2017 through December 27th, 2017,
Isha Vidhya has raised around $70,000 (INR 45,50,000)
towards schools infrastructure and government schools
teachers salary and academic learning aids, and around
$3270 (INR 2,12,550) for Life Skills education at the
Coimbatore district government schools.
Some of these funds (January 1st, 2017 through March
31st, 2017) have already been deployed for infrastructure
requirements (as detailed in the project reports filed earlier).
We have also used some of the Life Skills funds in December
2017, and look forward to utilize the raised funds fully in the
first four months of 2018. We will continue to file utilization
reports for all the expenditures fulfilled, through project
reports at Globalgiving.
We would like to express our special gratitude for our
recurring donors for their unwavering support. Isha Vidhya’s
number of recurring donors has increased to 33 this year.
We have been able to raise $10,349 between January 1st,
2017 and December 27th, 2017 through the recurring
donations. We encourage more of you to become recurring
monthly donors for Isha Vidhya, as we are looking for
expanding infrastructure as well as additional teachers’
salary expenses in 2018. Those of you that are already doing
recurring donations, please continue to do so. Thank you!
We would like to give you a quick update on the Life Skills
program fundraising for Coimbatore area Government schools.
This fundraising effort will expire on December 31st, 2017, and
there’s still $727 (INR 47,255) to be raised. We request you to
donate as much as you can to get this project full funded through
Globalgiving. To donate, please visit:

2017 has been one of the best years for Isha Vidhya fundraising
at Globalgiving, and we expect 2018 to be even better. We request
your continued engagement, donations, volunteering and co-operation
to enable us to raise as much as funds as possible for Isha Vidhya
through Globalgiving, so that we can educate the deserving,
underprivileged rural children of India together towards their glorious
future and to make them well-educated global citizens of tomorrow!
