Learning Centre for waste pickers children, India

Dear Friends and Donors,

Namaste!

We deeply appreciate your generous support for the BASS After School Learning Centres in Guntur, India.

For the past two years, our project on GlobalGiving has focused on providing quality education and essential life skills to underprivileged children aged 5 to 18 in three slums within Guntur. Currently, we operate three after-school learning centres staffed by qualified teachers who assist the children with their homework, teach various subjects, and serve as mentors to nurture their self-esteem and social development.

Thanks to your contributions, we have positively impacted the lives of 150 children. Their progress has been remarkable, and we are incredibly proud of their achievements. Since the academic year began on June 12th, the children have been attending the centres daily in the evenings, showing significant improvement in their recent term exams. Their educational standards have risen, and attendance in regular schools has also increased.

However, we have not received any donations in the past four months, which has made it challenging to maintain operations. Despite this, we continue to keep the centres running. The funds are crucial for covering rent, educational materials, staff salaries, and providing nutritious snacks or meals for the children. Each centre requires a minimum of $350 per month to operate effectively.

We earnestly request your assistance in this noble cause. By supporting us, you can make a meaningful difference in the lives of these children, helping to prevent them from falling into child labor, dropping out of school, or losing hope.

Please consider contributing to our project as we strive to provide quality education and life skills to children in Guntur. Your donation will have a lasting impact.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Together, we can create a brighter future for these young minds.

With heartfelt gratitude
