In the rural villages around Tiruvannamalai, many families struggle to meet basic needs, making it difficult to invest in education. This lack of education leads to issues like child marriages, child labour, and school dropouts. At Regenboog India Foundation, we believe education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Our sponsorship program offers free schooling and higher education to children from low-income families. We focus on supporting children from low-income families, single-parent households, and orphans, with a special emphasis on girls. We also support students who have completed their education but can't afford higher education. Our support includes regular communication with schools to monitor progress, meetings with students to understand their needs, and the provision of technology support and study spaces. We also organise annual career guidance programs.
Since 2004, our program has provided free education to 224 students, offering hope and a brighter future. One inspiring story is that of a 17-year-old girl from a community where child marriage is common. With our support, she graduated from high school and is now pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Her success inspires other girls in her community. At Regenboog India Foundation, we are committed to empowering children through education. Join us in making a difference.
