Hi Friend,
 
I am happy to be an ambassador for 1 school under DISHA – Bandipur project.  Please join me in providing quality education to 50 underprivileged children.

DONATE TO EDUCATE

THE PROBLEM

The pandemic has changed how millions around the globe are to be educated. This year, school closures due to COVID-19 have impacted the learning of 247 million children in India. Educational establishments are being challenged with finding the answers to provide continuity for education for children and are seriously exploring on-line education. 
 
Online education is not an option.

Only one in four children have access to digital devices and internet

Given the digital divide and lack of access to technology-enabled education, many children will be denied education and could widen equality gaps. Even more, with schools closed for over 18 months, there are significant learning losses which needs to attention as we get ready for the schools to reopen.

Every single day of school counts.
