Three and a half years ago, Jaime Kim passed away. Jaime was a founding Board member of Friends of Padhar Schools and helped us with fundraising and administrative work. But most of all, she was our main supporter, encouraging us when times were hard. She also celebrated when things were going well. The Jaime Kim Scholarship provides support for exceptional female students in their post-secondary education: teacher-training, nursing school, medical school, career-training or university education. To celebrate her birthday on November 29th, donate to the Jaime Kim Memorial Fund.
Our organization is established to support staff, teachers and students in rural India who want to attend school. We are currently working with eight schools in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. We encourage international donors to participate in funding the education of these children, in order to establish a partnership that crosses boundaries of culture, class, race, religion, disability, status or wealth.
