 Euro-a-Day Project
In India many children don't have the opportunity to go to school. Often people from remote, rural areas cannot read or write, as their families were unable to afford to send them to school, or there were no schools within travelling distance.
The Euro-A-Day programme was started a few years ago to build schools and provide education for children in the rural areas of India. We currently support over 100 schools across the country, the largest being just outside Bangalore, with 1000 pupils. The children travel to school every day by school bus, often a journey of two hours.
Many of these children are the first in their families ever to go to school. With your support we can continue and expand this valuable work.
 Siri on the left has been at the school for two years. She smiles happily as she talks about everything she's learnt. She wants to become a teacher and has already started to teach her older sisters to read.
One Euro a day is enough to support one child at school providing everything that's needed for a good education.
This is one of the service projects of the International Association for Human Values (IAHV). As well as the basic classroom skills, our schools nurture values of friendliness, compassion and a sense of belonging to a caring community.
The Euro-A-Day schools always receive the highest accreditation in the annual government inspections.
How the money is spent:
Building and equipping schools
Teachers and teaching materials
School uniforms
Transport
A cooked meal a day
Medical and dental care
This project is run entirely by volunteers, so that all of your donation goes directly to benefit the children.
With your help we would like to set up more schools and support more children
1 Euro a day - 7 Euros a week - £20 a month - can change the life of a child.
Help us lay the foundations for a child's future.
