Our greatest challenge at present is to meet the operating cost of the school. Most of our children come from families whose income is below the poverty line (BPL). To make quality education available to them the fee has been kept at a low level of Rs. 400/- per month. The fee collection meets only half the operating cost of the school. To meet the other half on a sustainable basis we are building a permanent endowment fund of Rs. 1 crore. This fund will be suitably invested and its returns used to meet the remaining part of the operating cost.
I invite you to become a part of this project and contribute liberally to this fund. Alternatively you could choose to support the education of one or more children by donating Rs. 6000/- per year per child. Every rupee counts. However, the amount is less important than the satisfying feeling of extending a helping hand to those who are less fortunate than us. As you consider donating to our Trust, please note the following:
You can send your contribution through a cheque in the name of ‘Kesari Devi Charitable Trust’, or credit directly to the Trust savings bank account no. 910010040238705 at Axis Bank, Lanka, Varanasi, IFS Code UTIB0000856, under intimation to me. The contributions to the Trust enjoy income tax exemption under 80G.
