“The irony of this wonderful seva is that I discover the other dimension to a beautiful life and in the bargain end up learning more than my contribution.”
-- Jaishank Gupta, Volunteer and Financial Planner
The Target: 7 crores + Running Expenses
Many invisible hands (and pockets!) have shaped the lives of Dharavi’s children. We were able to acquire a permanent space for our existing classes, simply through the contributions of individuals like you. One by one, people contributed and we raised the 130 lakh rupees (USD 325,000) required to purchase 4 classrooms. Thanks to them we could sustain what we had built over five long years.
Now, we look to you to fulfil our Vision a high school and vocational guidance college, to see these children through. 14,000 square feet to be purchased at Rs. 5000 (USD 125) a square foot, so we can acquire the land and construct the buildings. That’s a total of Rs. 7 crore (USD 1.75 million).
Seems daunting? Not to us. Because put in perspective, that’s the price of ONE fancy apartment in Mumbai, or Manhattan! And because every one, like you, intends to do good. That’s a potential pool of 6 billion contributors! So don’t be overwhelmed, just do your bit. Remember The Starfish Story!
We believe in these children. They believe in themselves. You CAN be a part of their success. Contribute NOW!
