A comprehensive sponsorship is created to take care of a range of their educational requirements, providing not only academic support that enables them to make a success of their schooling experience but also material support. This includes uniforms, school bags, shoes, socks etc. to enable the girl child to go to school with dignity.

The evening unfolded in fun and awe with the bewildering tricks of a magician and the upbeat music of a guitar.

They were explained the differences between a “good touch” and a “bad touch” and what they must do if they were in a situation where they felt uncomfortable or threatened. They listened with focused interest. At the end of the evening, the girls went back home, happy and content, ready to pack their school bag for yet another day of learning.
