This initiative is a campaign by me and my fellow students at Chirec to raise funds to provide quality education to children in need. All the funds collected from this initiative will go to Abhyasa Vidyalayam which is a school run by the Deepa Memorial Trust located in Vijayawada. The trust is a non-profit and any funding has tax benefits. They currently provide education to around 250 students of which about 40% students are from economically challenged families. They have classes from Lower KG to the 10th grade.
The objective is to raise funds for these needy children and transform their lives.
Most private schools are too expensive for the common people to access while most non-profit schools don’t provide quality education. This is where Abhyasa Vidyalayam stands out. They believe that education is a fundamental right of every child, and academic institutions must owe to provide good quality education in real spirit.The curriculum and the methodology are directed by the principle that the child should experience the joy of learning. And the program is absolutely stress-free. The school is making a big impact on the lives of its students and the results are there for all to see, the alumni are now attending reputed universities and doing very well.
The school is struggling to run. The students who can afford pay, others pay partially and about 40% of them are unable to pay anything at all. For INR 20,000 we can sponsor a needy student for one year.
- Tuition Fee 16,000
- 3 Pairs of School uniforms 2,500
- Books and stationery 1,500
SUCCESS STORIES
Abhyasa Vidyalayam has a very unique teaching model. We use less books, less homework, encourage discovery & creativity to teach children. This leads to students who are more self-aware of their strengths and likes. These children then become better people and better citizens.
Outlined below are two stories of students who come from economically stressed families and how they now have charted careers for themselves. We want you to fund students like this so that we can create more SILPA’s and MOHAN’s
ABOUT ME AND THIS CAMPAIGN:
Hi, I am Ria Agarwal of Class 12 D at the Chirec International School in Hyderabad. My hobbies are writing, reading and swimming.
Let me tell you more about this campaign of mine. Our school had a program where we met representatives from Fueladream.com who told us about crowdfunding & how that can be used to help needy students who were unable to fund their education at at school called the Abhyasa Vidyalayam.
The first thing that struck me was the idea of crowdfunding. I found it fascinating. I also realised that helping a needy child with education is all about giving them a future. It helps them to grow into individuals who can change the economic condition of their family. Else the shackles of poverty will continue from one generation to the other. Education is what will help them get out of it.
The fact that an amount of just Rs.20000 can transform the life of someone, made me realise that I must do something to help. I strongly believe that we can help those who are needy and in the process, transform their lives. Please support my campaign and let us together bring hope and a bright future to a child. Helping others is something that is close to my heart. Many thanks for your support.

How does crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept & is growing very quickly.
It’s a concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an Idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream.com is a crowdfunding platform in India that allows for such a pooling of funds. You can fund innovations & ideas on FuelADream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding. When you fund a charity it’s more like a donation & you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on an FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries
