Financial support for children who would otherwise be forced to leave school. Shiksha Daan covers fees, examination costs, and in critical cases provides family stipends — because every child deserves to complete their education.
School dropout is rarely about a child's willingness to learn. It is almost always about economic pressure — a family that needs a child's labour, an examination fee they cannot pay, or the cost of a uniform they cannot afford. Shiksha Daan intervenes at these precise moments of vulnerability.
Our field teams work with teachers to identify at-risk students. Support ranges from fee payment and examination cost coverage to monthly family stipends for the most economically vulnerable, to mentoring support from trained Sevartham volunteers.
