Jyothy stays in school with your help

Jyothi is six years old and a first grader at Sarada Vidyalayam, the school run by the Sankurathri Foundation. Her father, Rambabu, is an electrician from the village Kothuru, which is located in the outskirts of Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, India. He earns about $40 for month when he can work. Because of his poor economic background, his children need support for proper education and development. Jyothi has one sister who is studying in the third grade at Sarada Vidyalayam.

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 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 Thao, Noah, and Kaji for helping Jyothi. She would not be able to continue her education without the support of caring individuals like you.
