Save a School with Ashwini Charitable Trust (ACT)

Our mission is to provide an all-round education for the children, including academics as well as extra-curricular activities.

Members of Ashwini Charitable Trust (ACT) visit the school regularly and interact with the Headmistress, teachers and children.We provide a healthy protein mix and biscuits as supplementary food for the students six days a week. While interacting with the students we realised that most of them were not eating breakfast at home, so we decided to provide protein mix and biscuits to the students every day in the morning.

ACT has been providing van service for bringing 30 children from nearby  slums.

Volunteering Activities:

• ACT has been organizing volunteering activities on all the weekdays. Our volunteers teach the students English throughout the week.
