Gowri Parvathi can look forward to getting balanced meals for a year

Koppisetti-Gowri-Parvathi-6th-12y-F-1024x767
Twelve year old, Gowri Parvathi, is the youngest of three children, and she is studying in the sixth grade at Sarada Vidyalayam, a school run by Sankurathi Foundation. Her father works in the fields on daily wages and earns a meager sum of about $3 per day. He doesn’t have a steady job and struggles to support his wife and three other children with his earnings.

When Gowri Parvathi joined Sarada Vidyalayam, she was undernourished. Though her parents did manage to feed her every day, the food was not nutritious and the quantity was not enough for a growing child. As a result of undernourishment, her immunity levels were very low, and she was nto able to concentrate on her studies.

Your donations, Manish, Jonathan (x2), Dean and Julie (x2), Elena and Shanen, Dennis, James and Julie (x2) and James (x2) will ensure that Sankurathri Foundation is able to provide a healthy and tasty lunch comprising of lentils, vegetables and rice, to Gowri Parvathi every day for an entire year. This will be supplemented by a glass of milk.

Thank you, for keeping Gowri Parvathi’s hunger at bay, and helping her to concentrate on her education so she can move out of the vicious cycle of ignorance and poverty.
