The Foundation estimates that the cost for educating a child from the 11th standard through college is expected cost between Rs. 200,000/- to Rs. 500,000/- per child, depending on the course opted for and the profile of the institution.
We have seen the huge impact a child from an impoverished family makes, not only on her family but also on the entire community.
One Engineer or a Doctor or a Chartered Accountant from an impoverished community or a vulnerable household , inspires hundreds of children to do better and better.
These figures of education costs are estimates based on visits and interactions with the principals of a few schools and some college students and our experience over the years.
You will get a receipt for every contribution made. The Foundation will send you the physical receipt by post for your contribution. The receipt will specify all your details like name, address, amount paid, mode of payment, issuing bank name, etc.
