Donation protected
This Diwali an opportunity to light 150 lamps of selfless service.
An opportunity this Diwali to empower 150 Adivasi (Tribal) children in the remote village of Khoba, province of Gujarat, India, with the gift of education & nutrition.
Set against the lush green jungles and scenic backdrop of the Sahyadri mountains, is the remote tiny village of Khoba, in Valsad district of Gujarat, India. Literacy rate in Khoba is amongst the lowest in Gujarat. Lack of nutrition leads to various health issues including sickle cell anemia etc. The village is home to 745 people from the ancient Adivasi (Tribal) communities called Kukna, Varli & Kolcha.
This Diwali, your generous donation and contribution to raise a total of $ 3000 will help us combat both illiteracy & malnutrition in Khoba. These funds will support:
1. The services of a well-qualified teacher for 3 months.
&
2. Provide one nutritious meal to 150 students every day at school, for a period of 2 months.
Of course the more we raise the more we can do, longer.
Hundred percent of your donations will go towards the cause, as this is completely run by volunteers at Srishti Foundation – Canada & its partner organization, Lokamangalam Charitable Trust in Khoba. i.e. zero overheads. Your generous donation will serve as a lifeline to keep these children well nourished & educated, during these uncertain times due to COVID-19 and its economic impact.
