Books, writing materials and stationary for one student at Panchsheel Ashram School for one year.
At Panchsheel Ashram School, they offer a tailoring class, where students learn essential skills like pattern-making and sewing, using USHA pedal sewing machines, a sturdy metal machine that uses no electricity, thus assuring work can continue when the supply of electricity is sporadic. One machine can change the life of a family, providing income that can sustain the family through challenging times.
Your $75.00 gift provides a computer for student use. This will enable our students to utilize the benefits of technology in their education.
Sponsor a student and provide an opportunity for girls and young women to achieve their goals! $100 provides each student with school fees, school uniforms and supplies.
