Education Programme
Deenabandhu Trust prioritizes education as the cornerstone for uplifting children from poverty, allocating approximately 50% of its resources to this cause. Through initiatives spanning pre-primary, primary, and secondary education, it aims to instill essential literacy skills and prevent dropouts, particularly in areas lacking government school support. Bridge schools are established in communities with a high number of out-of-school children to facilitate their reintegration into mainstream education swiftly. Furthermore, the organization provides comprehensive support structures, including tuition, school fees, and moral guidance, to ensure children remain engaged in their studies. Collaborating with communities, it enhances government school infrastructure and motivation, effectively reducing dropout rates. Additionally, Deenabandhu supports select projects focusing on residential education, aiming to profoundly transform the lives of underprivileged children.
