Sponsor a 'classroom' in India

Sponsor a 'classroom'

Meaning “Knowledge and Light”, the Vidya Jyothi Scheme enables children to attend school and get an education which provides a vital pathway out of poverty for them and their families. By sponsoring primary school students through the Vidya Jyothi Scheme, you will help to cover their school fees, uniforms, books, transport and food.  

You can sponsor 30 students through the Vidya Jyothi Scheme with a one-off donation of £450 (£15 per student). While the students may be in different schools in India, this is the equivalent of a whole class. Imagine being able to make such a difference to so many young people!

You can also sponsor individual students here.

If you have any questions, please contact twinning@svp.org.uk.

 

*All donations made will go into the India Fund. SVP India may reallocate your donation if a greater need is identified elsewhere. However, the demand for student support continues to grow and this is an area of high priority for SVP India.
