At this time, we have 4 different donation plans, however, all donations are welcome and appreciated.

Sponsor-a-Student: Rs12,000/$300 +
For less than a dollar a day, a sponsor can cover the cost of a room, board and tuition of one young resident for an entire year.  Sponsors will be provided with the name of the student along with a photograph.  Periodic progress reports will be furnished for as long as sponsorship continues.

Sponsor-a-Cow: Rs20,000/$500 +
The project aims to have a cattle farm as a source of in-house funding to meet the future requirements of school. The average cost of a cow would be around Rs. 20,000 ($500). By donating this amount, sponsors can adopt and name a cow. The cow is considered a symbol of motherhood in the Hindu religion and it is estimated that one cow may be able to generate income to fund the education of one or two children every year.

Sponsor Memorial Brick: Rs40,000/$1,000 +
Now that the school is operational, the next step in fulfilling the dream is to create a facility that can accommodate up to 600 students.  For a donation of $1000 or more, a memorial brick will be placed in the courtyard as a permanent reminder of the generosity of those who helped to change the future of so many children.

Sponsor-a-Room: Rs200,000/$5,000 +
The school will be comprised of several wings containing classrooms, dormitories, cafeterias and common areas.  The average cost of construction of each room is estimated at $5,000.  During construction, permanent memorial plaques will be placed in each room recognizing the benefactors who sponsored them.
