Sponsor a Child

The state of Bihar lacks proper educational infrastructure and a huge gap exists between the demand for education and its supply. It is generally recognised that the only way for children to receive a proper education is to study at non-government schools. These are better resourced and have higher teacher to pupil ratios than government schools. Without sponsorship, this type of education is inaccessible for children from poor families in Bodhgaya.

Children sponsored via Kusala Projects are placed at Sant Moggallana Public School (STMG), a non-government school in Bodhgaya. STMG has excellent facilities, dedicated and caring staff, dual medium learning (subjects taught in both Hindi & English), a full range of grades pre-primary to matriculation, and is in a central location.

The cost of sponsorship for the initial year in grades Pre Primary-II is 20,000 Indian rupees and subsequent years are 18,000 rupees. For grades III-V, the initial year costs 21,000 rupees and subsequent years are 19,000 rupees.

All sponsorship donations directly benefit the student. To calculate the cost in your own currency, please use the currency converter below.

When a sponsorship is initiated, sponsors receive an information kit about the child and regular reports from the child. If you are interested in sponsoring a child in Bodhgaya, please write to enquiries@kusalaprojects.org
