Children and
education
Children drop out over sums a club like ours can cover without strain.
Small costs, large consequences
A bag, notebooks, a uniform that fits, shoes. Minor on their own, together, at the start of a year, enough to end a schooling.
What we do
-
School kits
Bags, notebooks, stationery and supplies distributed at government and aided schools around Konankunte before the academic year.
-
Uniforms and shoes
For students identified by their schools as needing them.
-
Vision screening in schools
One of the most direct educational interventions there is, because a child who cannot see the board falls behind for reasons nobody diagnoses.
-
Encouragement and recognition
Prizes and support for students who are doing well against the odds.
A child who can see the board, with the books to keep up, is a child who stays.
Our work so far
Lions Club Konankunte is compiling the dated record: how many kits went out, and to how many schools. It will be published here, counted and correct, rather than estimated.
The next distribution
Help hand out kits at the next school.
Dates are set a few weeks ahead. Ring the club and we will tell you when and where the next one is.
