Drop-out rates are high across tribal communities and through the different stages of the educational system from primary school to college.
Various areas of need during their education are stable accommodation, training & mentoring, coaching students to level with peers from mainstream communities, providing supplementary reading materials, library, internet , laptops etc
We are aiming to support 100 students from the tribal communities in Kerala pursuing graduate level education by providing them a monthly stipend of 1500 Rs per month.
