Access to Education

Kabita Deshar and 40 children study for free at Jyotidaya School in Nepal.

Kabita Deshar, 12, lost her father two years back. He was a taxi driver. Since then, the family lived on the sole income of her mother, Yamuna, who worked at a private school. Kabita studied in the same school.

Unfortunately, the school had to close because of the financial difficulties. Yamuna lost her job and Kabita lost her opportunity for an education. They sought help from the Jyotidaya Co-operative School. For the past two years Kabita has been receiving scholarship support through Sarvodaya. She just completed fifth grade and has entered sixth grade.

Kabita and 40 other students in similar circumstances receive free education at Jyotidaya School. The school provides affordable and quality education for many other students.

You can support the education of these children. $10 a month supports a month’s tuition fee. Donate Online.
