About Medhaa Charitable Trust
Medhaa Charitable Trust is an association of like-minded individuals who have served in the field of education as educators, mentors and coordinators. Our experience as volunteer teachers, in government schools in the remote parts of Karnataka, opened our eyes to the dire situation of the schools, crying out for the facilities to impart quality education. Thus Medhaa Charitable Trust was born. We work closely with government schools, semi-aided schools, and privately run schools that provide quality education to the underprivileged. We strive to equip the school, the teachers, and the admins with the necessary facilities required to perform their jobs at excellence.
Our Appeal
“Little drops of water make a mighty ocean”.
Run down your memory lane and bring back those sweet memories of your school life. How happy and carefree were those days! The children of these schools are unfairly deprived of quality education. Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a positive change in their lives.
There is an urgent need for facilities like the following:
- Salary of Spoken English Teacher
- Monthly salary for privately employed teachers
- Educational workshop to enable teachers with the latest advancements
- Providing vehicle charges, allowing students to avoid walking an average of 3 km one-way to school.
- Enriching the mid-day meal program by providing vegetables, by adding essential nutrition to the students' diets.
- Sponsorship of kids’ education to reduce the parent payable fees
- Set up kid-friendly libraries
- Set up interactive learning facilities (TV, Computers, etc.)
