Give Generously to the Noble Cause: Send a Child to School in India
Contribute to Ninash Foundation: Promoting Literacy in India from 1996 to 2019
Dr. Ashok Kumar Malhotra, founder/president, Mrs. Linda Marie Drake as treasurer and members of the board of the Ninash Foundation (ww.ninash.org) are celebrating 23 Years of Promoting Literacy in India.
We believe that illiteracy among female and minority children of India is the root cause of issues like overpopulation, poverty, poor health, racial and religious conflicts in India. Through the “Ninash Foundation: A Kitchen Table Local Charity,” our team has been promoting literacy in remote villages of India where majority of these underserved illiterate children live. For the past 23 years, with the assistance of more than 300 US college students, dozens of faculty and members of the community, the Ninash Foundation has helped build seven schools in the remote villages of Dundlod and Mahapura in Rajasthan as well as in Kuran and Sagbara in Gujarat.
Ninash’s experiment of promoting literacy among female and minority children that started with 50 underserved children in 1996 is now bearing tremendous dividends for these underprivileged children in these four villages. Now in 2019, there are more than 1800 children getting superb education learning four languages (regional language of Gujarati or Rajasthani, national language of Hindi, International language of English and Global language of Computer) in these remote villages. More than 250 graduates from these schools are going to colleges of their choice completing degrees in medicine, engineering, computers, business and other secretarial professions along with opening their private businesses. Beside promoting literacy among the neglected female and minority children, Ninash has undertaken such successful projects as: giving away more than 380 dairy goats to the poorest of the poor villagers, water filtration for clean drinking water, funds for building roads as well as parks, playgrounds, libraries, computers, books and recreational games such as basketball, ping pong table, musical instruments, cricket set, volleyball net, carom and equipment for exercise.
This educational experiment also has had ripple effect leading to building self-esteem in the people of these four remote villages, who in turn have started new businesses and built modern houses as well as hospitals and dispensaries. Each village is growing and developing at a faster pace now to get its fair share from the growing Indian economy.
As Ninash raises more funds from compassionate donors like you during this year and future years, it will be able to promote literacy among other underserved children who live in thousands of remote villages of India. Please become a part of this compassionate team to send an underprivileged child to school in India. Open your hearts to contribute to this noble cause. Please go to www.ninash.org to donate through PayPal. Your contribution is like a giving tree, which keeps giving for generations.
