Basic education in India is free, but uniforms, books and equipment all cost money that poor families or widowed mothers simply don’t have.
When children reach the age at which they can work, there is often pressure from within the family for them to leave school and help support the family. By sponsoring a child, you enable them to fund their education and escape the poverty trap.
Over 3500 children are being supported by FEAST in this way but there are many more in need.
