Organization information
New Life
Location: Somarasampettai, India
Summary
A survey says that only 32% of children read 24 out-of-syllabus-books annually in India.The project aims at envisaging the reading and educational opportunities for 1000 children and adults from 4 slums in Trichy. The mobile library (to start with in a two wheeler and 100 books we have) aims at providing weekly service to deepen the children's passion in reading. Children will have access to books & Games (like carom, checkers, chess, etc.) that develop the thinking abilities and life skills. Important Notice about Projects in India: We expect that there will be significant delays in getting funds to this project due to new regulatory requirements that impact GlobalGiving's ability to disburse to Indian-banked organizations. GlobalGiving is working hard to address the issue, but there is a chance that we will be unable to disburse funds to this project. If we cannot disburse funds, donations to this project may be reallocated to another organization per our terms and conditions.
