- | NGO:Asha Kiran Rural Development Society | State: | Tax Benefit : 50%
Asha Kiran runs an education initiative for the coastal and kolleru lake villages near Machilipatnam. They focus on providing education supplies to children from economically backward families. A BPL survey found that the percentage of school dropouts is high among the orphan and semi-orphan children due to the caretakers’ poverty.
How it Works
• The Asha Kiran team visits the schools in these villages and interacts with the school authorities, education committee and village development committees.
• They identify and list the orphan children or children with single parent that come from poor economic backgrounds.
• During their interactions, the volunteers discovered that some of the orphan and semi orphan children (9 - 15 years) are made to discontinue their studies for getting income from rag picking and fishing activities.
• The NGOs helps in rescuing these children from child labor and enables them to continue with their education by providing education support.
• The donations are also used to provide uniforms, school bags, rice and provisions to these children at any time during the year.
