I am fundraising to Project Weave

In the bustling community of of Dharavi 90 Feet Road, resides a quaint building that is brought to life by children brimming with exceptional talent  and dreaming their dreams. One of the many hindrances to their 'dreams' is an incapable infrastructure failing to provide a conducive environment for learning.

I have been closely working with the school principal Tabassum Aapa for 2 years addressing manifold issues of drop out, english and math skills, technological support, parent engagement and participation of school management committee. Despite the myriad tools that are being provided, children are having difficulty learning as they have no tables or chairs to work with. They have to sit on the wet and damp floor in the humid, rainy weather of Mumbai throughout the day which poses challenge to their learning and health. 

NEED FOR FUND RAISING

Upon several discussions with the school teachers as to what can be done to address the issue of infrastructural incapabilities, we initially sought to buy foldable cardboard desks from 'Help Desk'. However, the idea of a foldable cardboard would not sustain in Mumbai. Hence, it was decided to do the bare minimum to provide durable carpets for children as well as to reconstruct and smoothen the tiles on the floor, so that they could sit comfortably, away from the dirty and grim floor.  After talking to the local manufacturers of rugs and carpets in Dharavi, the estimated cost of setting up the carpet as well as the flooring for 4 classrooms is coming up to Rs. 25,000.

It would be of immense help if you can contribute towards this endeavor through selfless donations.

ACCOUNTABILITY

The donors can get in touch with me personally and ask for the progress on the funds being used.

I take it as my duty to keep all donors updated on the usage of their funds through publishing a final accountability report.
