This Tuesday, donate Rs 600 for Geetha to continue with her education.
Geetha (name changed) looked longingly at her friend talking to her dad. Her heart saddened at the thought of her dad who died a few years back. Geetha's father was an electrician. He died of electric shock when he was working. The sudden demise shattered the family.
Geetha's mother was a housewife and the family was happy and content meeting their basic requirements when the father was alive. After his death, her mother had to search for a job. She is not much educated. Hence she started working as a creche caretaker. She gets INR 3000 per month. With this income, she has to feed her 2 children and herself.
Geetha joined New Life's coaching class in the 6th standard. Now she is in the 8th standard. She loves Science. She scored 78% of marks. Her aim is to become a teacher.
With the limited income, it is difficult for her mother to send her for higher studies. New Life, a GuideStar India certified NGO, wants to see this poor family come out of their plight by fulfilling Geetha's dream of becoming a teacher. She is being supported to study through their coaching class.
New Life conducts coaching classes after school hours in slums to help those poor kids who can not be guided by their parents. A teacher helps them to do their homework, study and clear their doubts in lessons. The children are taken on an exposure visit once in a year. Skilled children are motivated to participate in talent programs. They are also given awareness on various topics like child sexual abuse, evils of child labour, various health aspects, etc. New Life also supports very poor children to continue their education. Geetha gets support from New Life by way of learning materials, dresses, etc.
Do your bit for Geetha and children like her. Donate Rs.600 to make a difference!
