Children studying at Parikram’s 4 schools and 1 junior college come from over 99 slums in Bengaluru. Most of our student’s parents are daily wage labourers, housemaids, vegetable sellers, etc. Our children come from families, where the average household income is between 3000-5000/- per month. We continue to raise funds to ensure each and every child has access to smartphones to be able to continue school. However, parents cannot afford internet data every month as, during these times, their employment is scattered and irregular.

The data cost per child for a month is 300/- Each class has 30 students (300 students in a school) and junior college a total of 180 students. We are looking forward to raising money for an entire month for all four schools and junior college – that is for 1200 students for an entire month: 3,60,000/-

Our children are struggling to get an education through our online classes because their parents cannot afford their monthly data charges. We are asking you to only sacrifice one episode of your favourite show today and donate the data’s worth to our students to attend regular classes J We are doing the same and would hope you reach out to us too.

How is this sustainable? We will be running this campaign every month – hoping, we will be able to achieve our target till schools reopen again. You can make this happen.
Thank you!
