Encouraging Education

In the rural regions of India, children will often drop out of school at young ages to work on family farmland or in family businesses, in order to avoid the expenses of school and to make money for their families. We identify children in rural schools who are excelling, and provide them with a small scholarship as an incentive to remain in school and continue their education, and to stay on the path to success.
