Enroll your child in this program and help educate a poor child in India.
Our mission is to help poorest of poor children in the world get easy access to education. With this goal in mind, ILID India runs a school in the urban slum named ‘Nandanavanam’ in Hyderabad, South India. This school known as “Ekalavya school” provides quality English medium education from class 1 to 10 to about 315 students from very low income families. 60% of the students are girls and valuable education is their only means to avoid being pushed into menial labor.
Kasturi Trust and ILID strive to secure permanent funding for the school through the savings from the tutoring services offered to you in America. The net fee after tutor salary and other operating expenses will go towards running the school and opening more such schools all over India.
