School Supplies

School fees was not enough for Gayatri to get an education.

Gayatri is a young girl from a fishing community in Karnataka. Her parents hardly earn any money and struggle to even meet their daily needs.They get through life on the little they make each day.

They wanted Gayatri to have a better life than them and knew that she needed an education for this. With a lot of struggle, they kept aside some money to pay her school fees. But they soon realized that tuition fees alone was not enough to keep her in school.

Gayatri is an intelligent girl who enjoys learning. But there were various other costs of schooling such as supplies, uniforms, and footwear which her parents could not afford in any way. So with a heavy heart they decided to stop her education.

When Pillango found out about her, we reached out to the family. We counselled Gayatri's parents and helped them realize how important it was to continue her schooling. We assured her parents that we would look after the extra expenses.

With the help of donations, Pillango gives Gayatri two sets of uniforms, notebooks and footwear every year. Something so simple took a huge burden off her parents and they could afford to send her back to school.

Surveys show that unavailability of school supplies (uniforms, bags, notebooks, and footwear) is one of the primary reasons for dropouts.

Pillango is committed that these children are provided with free supplies. Benefits are given mostly in the beginning and middle of the academic year based on the availability of resources.

Over 50 children receive help every year. Donate to this cause and help kids continue their education.
