Amrutha can continue her schooling for free

Amrutha is eight years old and lives in the village of Penumarthy in Andhra Pradesh, India. Her father works for an oil refining company and earns about $ 45 per month, which is barely sufficient to feed the whole family.

Under such circumstances education becomes a low priority. Sending Amrutha to work would allow her to make some money to supplement the family income. Children rarely get paid enough to support themselves, let alone their family. Sankurathri is an organization in rural India that works to prevent cases like this.

Sankurathi provides much more than an education for their students. Amrutha’s parents have no financial burden from her schooling because the organization funds her uniforms, books, and more. However, Sankurathri could not have provided this for Amrutha without your support, Joe and Karen.

Thank you for helping Amrutha so that she can continue to attend school.
