We run a school in Northern India to educate children from a local slum area

Story

I've been involved with this amazing charity since 2008. The school provides a flexible education to around 100 disadvantaged children, after classes for older children, and sponsorship for some to attend secondary school. Recently we have provided emergency funds to support families and provided smartphones for some students to access work plans from home. One of our former pupils is now studying a computer science degree at a prestigious Indian University, his fees covered by a group of Bright Sparks Angels. The sky is the limit when people believe in you. Fundraising has got tougher in recent times as our events fundraising model doesn't work with Covid restrictions. If you feel able to make a donation it would be very much appreciated, thank you :) x
