Contribute What You Can, Make a Meaningful Difference

Not all contributions need to be monetary. Donating useful items such as books, learning materials, or supplies can directly support children and the programs we run. These contributions help strengthen day-to-day learning environments and ensure that essential resources are available where they are needed. Your thoughtful contribution can play a small but important role in supporting a child’s journey.

Supporting Through Useful Contributions

In-kind donations refer to contributing items instead of money. These may include educational materials, school supplies, or other resources that support children’s learning and development. Such contributions are directed toward fulfilling specific needs within our programs.

Strengthening Everyday Learning

Access to the right materials plays an important role in creating a supportive learning environment. Items such as books, stationery, and teaching aids help children participate more actively and confidently in their learning journey. These contributions also help us allocate resources more effectively and ensure that essential needs are consistently met across programs.

IBT Program – need assessment  च्या हेतूने शाळा भेट झाली. विज्ञानश्रम IBT  कार्यक्रमाच्या मदतीने शाळेने खूपच उपक्रम राबवले आहेत. यांत व्यावहारिक गरज लक्षात घेऊन राबवलेले उपक्रम आहेतच जसे बायोगॅस, Moisture Sensor परंतू विद्यार्थीकेंद्री असेही काही उपक्रम खूप आवडले जसे मुलांसाठी साहसी खेळांची उपकरणे.           सर्वात महत्त्वाचे म्हणजे IBT चा गाभा लक्षात घेऊन मुलांचे शिकणे व शिकलेल्याचे उपयोजन यावर भर दिलेला दिसतो हे खूपच अभिनंदनीय आहे. पुढील वाटचालीसाठी शाळेला शुभेच्छा!
