School fees was not enough for Preeti to get an education.
Preeti is a Child girl from a fishing community in India. Her parents hardly earn any money and struggle to even meet their daily needs. They get through life on the little they make each day.
They wanted Preeti to have a better life than them and knew that she needed an education for this. With a lot of struggle, they kept aside some money to pay her school fees. But they soon realized that tuition fees alone was not enough to keep her in school.
Preeti is an intelligent girl who enjoys learning. But there were various other costs of schooling such as supplies, uniforms, and footwear which her parents could not afford in any way. So with a heavy heart they decided to stop her education.
When the LAKSHY DREAM FOUNDATION found out about her, they reached out to the family. They counselled Preeti's parents and helped them realize how important it was to continue her schooling. They assured her parents that they would look after the extra expenses.
With the help of donations, LAKSHY DREAM FOUNDATION gave Preeti two sets of uniforms, notebooks and footwear. Something so simple took a huge burden off her parents and they could afford to send her to school.
Program Description
LAKSHY DREAM FOUNDATION runs an initiative committed to reducing school dropout rates in the children from economically backward families in coastal areas of India . Surveys showed that unavailability of school supplies (uniforms, bags, notebooks, and footwear) was one of the primary reasons for dropouts.
The LAKSHY DREAM FOUNDATION volunteers collect data on dropouts from school authorities and Anganwadi centers. Children aged between 9-15 in need of support are identified with help from teachers and the education committee. These children are then provided with free supplies. Benefits are given mostly in the beginning and middle of the academic year based on the availability of resources.
Over 50 children receive help every year. Donate to this program and help kids continue their education.
