   India - Bolpur-Santiniketan

School Equipment

$19,750

Here the primary schools lack the basic infrastructure facilities like benches, chairs, black boards, desks etc. and also the study materials like globes, atlasses, etc. We would like to provide these basic equipments and some play euipment to about 10 schools of the locality. The schools are very ill euipped and do not have enough financial support from Government but the teachers are very dedicated. We want to provide some of the basic needs of these schools. Some of the schools are also run on the railway station platforms with the vagabond children. This project is going to benefit at least l000 students of the community directly. This year one of the thrust area is literacy and we would like contribute our little bit in this area through this project.
