Sruthi Jyothi finally gets a quality education

Sruthi Jyothi is nine year old third grader at Sarada Vidyalayam, a school run by the Sankurathri Foundation in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, India. Her father, Kumar, is a painter from the village of Kothuru, which is located in the outskirts of Kakinada. He earns about $40 a month when he can find the work. Due to his unstable job status, Kumar’s four children need external support for proper education and development.

Under such circumstances, education is never a priority. Many boys and girls in rural areas such as this become child laborers to help supplement the family’s income. Unfortunately, this leads many to drop out of school. Sarada Vidyalayam is helping such children complete their education without any financial burden to their parents. The school provides not only free education, but also provides free books, uniforms, school bags, a pair of sandals, transportation, nutritious lunch, milk, medical check ups, and medicine to all the children. The school maintains a very strict curriculum, provides quality education and imparts good discipline and values to groom them as good citizens.

Thank you, Moyet and Michael, for helping Sruthi Jyothi. She can finally receive the education she deserves.
