About:
My name is J KEERTHANA. I am 13 years old and from EuroSchool, Kukatpally, Hyderabad. I am doing this campaign to educate tribal children from remote villages in Telangana.
Millions of tribal children in India grow up without access to even basic education due to the absence of schools in their villages, lack of infrastructure, and limited awareness about the importance of education. These children are often the first generation in their families with the chance to go to school, yet many remain deprived.
To solve this, the NGO Friends of Tribals Society (FTS) runs the Ekal Vidyalaya (One Teacher School) model in remote tribal villages across India. Each school is managed by a single trained teacher and provides basic education in reading, writing, math, science, and values to about 30 children, for 3 hours a day, 6 days a week.
It costs just INR 30000 to run one such school for an entire year, covering the teacher’s cost, study materials, training, and program management. Fund INR 2500 for example, and support the entire school for a month; INR 5000 funds the school for two months, and 15000 for 6 months.
Your support can help a whole village learn, grow, and build a better future.
