We have managed to get this far with mostly fundraising from family, friends, and local corporations and bodies through cash and in-kindcontributions. We are now seeking to expand our activity , as well as to create a sustained financial assistance system so that we can better focus on our work and upgrade and expand our activities further.

If you want to help the children of Hamari Kaksha, here are a few options:

Sponsorships

Due to funds going towards education costs, we are only able to pay our teaching assistants a small stipend as volunteers. We would very much like to encourage them to stay on and give back to the younger children by paying them a proper teacher’s salary.
If you would like to know more about sponsoring a teaching assistant, email us at (email id of contact person in-charge of donations/HR).
Similarly, we welcome sponsorships for a child in Hamari Kaksha (Rs.3,600 for 1 child for 1 year) or a mother in our literacy program (Rs.3,000 for 1 mother for 1 year), just email us.
You can become member of Hamari Kaksha club by donation of Rs 10,000/- per annum.

Donations (including in-kind)

We have been very lucky to have had support and generosity from the local community, businesses, and local government in our times of need.Many donations have been to cover financial costs of providing education tomore than 500 children per year, while many donations have been in-kind – donations of necessary materials or items that help us make a big impact in our teaching methods.

For example, our computer lab was made possible with help from Infosys Technologies, Chandigarh and Meritech Software helped setup the lab; several volunteers from Strawberry field school hold periodic workshops to ensure that our children are able to use these to the best extent possible. Similarly, our library receives extensive book donations by individuals and communities which help our children immensely in developing their communication skills and reading abilities.
