What your Donation delivers
A$100
A$100 will educate one child for one year at Prajna Vihar School. Education is the key to better life outcomes, greater access to employment, escaping poverty, supporting families and developing communities. See our PVS page for details.
A$75
A$75 purchases materials and resources for community health and education projects. Often the biggest barrier for local teachers and healthcare professionals is a lack of access to resources.
A$50
A$50 will teach two women to sew at Pragati Sewing Centre. With relatively easy access to haberdashery and a constant demand for tailoring skills we are working with more and more women with an interest in this skillset but who do not have the means to access it.
A$25
A$25 buys basic health services for rural communities and supports healthcare programs delivered by local organisations such as Jeevan Deep.
Every bit counts!
As little as $7 can give a child the exercise books and stationery they will need for the coming school year, $700 will provide them with a scholarship for further education. The choice is entirely up to you. Every little bit helps.
