How does it work?

Print E-mail
Each Dalit Education Centre student is required to pay a minimum fee, no matter how poor they might be. This helps to create a sense of ownership and accountability in the lives of the students and their parents.  The actual cost of their schooling is much higher than the school fees collected. Thus, these children must rely on partnership by others to provide the necessary scholarships to allow them to continue their schooling.

For just $35 per month you can make a difference in the life of a child attending a Dalit Education Centre. This money will cover the total costs involved in their education and enable them to receive the education that has previously been denied them. $35 per month covers the cost of school fees, books, uniforms, teacher’s salaries, administrative costs and a healthy midday meal.

Each partner supporting a Dalit child’s education will receive a photograph and background information about their child and the school attended. They will also receive two reports per year on the progress of their child. Sponsors will receive a handwritten letter from their sponsored child each year and sponsors will be encouraged to write to their sponsored child and enjoy sharing in his or her life’s journey.
