2008 Educare Walk!
See pictures from our third annual walk held on October 5, 2008, in Iselin, NJ.
Educare Foundation's objective is to help the education of poor and
deserving children in India. Since 1994 thousands of children in India
have benefited from Educare.
Educare’s Programs
- We continue to concentrate on the education of the poor in India.
- We continue to add more schools and more students to the
scholarship program whereby we award cash funds to students to help to
pay for school fees, uniforms, books, school materials, clocks,
bicycles etc. Students are selected by a committee of at least three
persons formed at the school and approved by Educare Foundation. The
basis for selection includes poor, intelligent, handicapped, no-father,
orphan etc.
-
Our infrastructure program for needy schools has been a great success.
Funds have been provided to purchase durries/rugs, desks and benches, furniture, and blackboards for the classrooms. We
have also provided computers, printers, and playground equipment for the students as well as sound systems for student assemblies, copy machines, and installation of a new electrical system. We are also providing financial assistance in the construction of a new building for a school for deaf and mute children.
These items will continue to help the entire
student population for years to come.
- Provide funds to orphanage for education of orphan children.
- Provide funds to school for deaf and mute for poor children for hiring qualified staff.
- Provide personal and spiritual satisfaction to large donors by having them sponsor a specific school of their choice.
Almost 59 million children in India under the age of 14 years
including 35 million girls were not attending school. Report on the
state of children in India prepared as a follow-up to the World Summit
