Sivalingam is just starting education at Isha Vidhya in Tamil Nadu, South India. Both of his parents are farm laborers, who make very little money from the day jobs they sporadically find. Without the free education provided by Isha Vidhya which is supported by generous donors like you, it would be impossible for Sivalingam to go to school.

Suganthi is a 10 year old girl studying in Class 4 and has one younger brother studying in Kindergarten. She has no father and their mother is a daily wager, earning a mere 2500 rupees ($50) per month. Suganthi and her mother live with her maternal uncle. She studies well and also enjoys sports!

ISHA VIDHYA’S FOCUS

Mission

To provide high quality English-medium education in villages and make it accessible to children from the most backward families through full scholarships

It is very important that the children realize there is somebody out there in the world who have never seen them, probably will never see them, but have enough concern in their heart that they are contributing towards their well-being. It is most important that a child grows up with this trust in humanity. Sadhguru

with 5200 children, mostly f irst-generation school goers.

31 Govt Schools adopted in Coimbatore. Dharmapuri and Salem Districts impacting 26000 children.
