Why this campaign matters
In rural Bihar, children rarely leave school by choice. School fees, uniforms, books and stationery cost more than many families can spare, and many classrooms are too poorly equipped to keep children learning. Every year, 11 lakh children in Bihar leave school before finishing primary education.
How your donation helps
Our volunteers visit schools and families to find children aged 3 to 15 who are at risk of dropping out, and we cover whatever is keeping them away. At our Kathalia campus, more than 65 children in pre-primary and primary classes learn free of charge, with books, uniforms and learning materials provided. Children like three-year-old Sana learn letters, numbers, rhymes and colours there at no cost to their families.
