Somebody has to sign the school form

Full support means

For children with no parent and no guardian with the means, the barrier is rarely dramatic. It is a fee, a uniform, a signature, a medical certificate — and nobody to arrange them.

What full support means

Not a scheme. A standing arrangement.

This is the smallest of our four programmes and the one we are most careful about, because a child who is supported for eight months and then dropped is worse off than a child who was never picked up.

We take on a child only when we can commit to seeing them through the school year, and we do not take on a new child to grow a number. The children in this programme live in shelters, with extended family who cannot afford them, or with a single surviving grandparent.

Support means the whole thing: fees, uniform, books, food, medical care, and a named volunteer who turns up at the school when a signature is needed.

  • Continuity is the promise. We plan sponsorship in school years, never in months.
  • A named adult. Every child has one volunteer who is theirs — parents' evenings, illness, admission forms.
  • Termly reports. Sponsors receive real progress updates, including the terms that went badly.
The monthly breakdown

Where ₹2,500 goes, line by line

School fees & examinationWhere the school is not free, and for exam and admission costs ₹700
Uniform, shoes & booksTwo sets, replaced as the child grows ₹450
Nutrition top-upMilk, eggs, fruit — the growth years cannot be recovered later ₹600
Medical coverRoutine care, vaccinations, and a fund for the unexpected ₹400
Tuition & learning supportWhere a child has fallen behind and needs to catch up ₹250
Visits & coordinationThe volunteer’s travel, and the paperwork nobody else will do ₹100
One child, one month, in full₹2,500
Please read this before sponsoring. A child sponsorship that stops mid-year is genuinely damaging. If you are not confident about twelve months, sponsor six months of meals or a school kit instead — it is a better gift than an interrupted promise, and we will not think less of it.
Sponsorship options

Three honest commitments

Shared

Part sponsorship

You cover a share of one child's monthly cost alongside two or three other supporters. The commitment is smaller; the child's certainty is the same.

Most chosen

Full sponsorship

One child, entirely. Fees, uniform, nutrition, medical care and a named volunteer. Termly reports and, if both sides want it, a relationship that lasts years.

₹2,500/ month
Sponsor a child
One payment

A full school year

Twelve months, settled in one go. Administratively the simplest thing you can do for us, and the version that lets us plan the year with confidence.

You do not forget the first time a child asks whether you are coming back next week. That question is the entire reason this programme is structured in school years and not in donations.

Sponsorship questions

The questions sponsors should be asking

Yes — first name, age, class, situation and a photograph, with the guardian's or shelter's consent. We do not publish a child's full identity anywhere public, and we ask sponsors to respect the same boundary.
Letters, yes, routed through us. Meeting, yes, in the presence of the shelter or guardian and a volunteer. Never one-to-one and never unsupervised — that rule protects the child and it protects you.
Tell us and stop. We cover the gap from the general fund and find another sponsor. No child is ever removed from the programme because a sponsor's situation changed — which is exactly why we hold a reserve.
No. The children in this programme live in existing shelters, with extended family, or with a surviving grandparent. We fund and support — we do not institutionalise.
Fees are paid to the school directly. Uniform and books are bought and handed over. Nutrition and medical spend is receipted. Very little of this programme moves as cash, and none of it as unsupervised cash.
Excellent — that is the aim. If a family's situation genuinely recovers we taper support and move your sponsorship to a child on the waiting list, with your agreement.
A termly written report: attendance, results, health, and anything that went wrong. We report the bad terms too, because a sponsor who only ever hears good news should be suspicious.
Yes, in full, like every other donation to the foundation. You will receive a receipt with our 80G registration number and trust PAN.
