More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

In the Addagutta slum where residents live below the poverty line without drinking water or streetlights; mothers work on construction jobs or as domestic help; and only 34% of girls attend school, the desire to improve circumstances is intense. Mothers support Vikasini and enrollment has grown from 15 to 41 in its first year. An additional teacher, administrative help, books, sports equipment, and one computer are needed. Local donations cannot meet the school's needs.
