Shiksha Sahayak

No Child Should Have to Choose Between Books and a Meal

Under our Shiksha Sahayak initiative, we support children and young adults from low-income families so they can stay in school, finish their education, and pursue their dreams – without dropping out due to money problems.

What We Provide

  • Tuition Support: For school and college students struggling with fees
  • Exam & Admission Help: We assist with form fees, entrance test costs, etc.

  • Mentoring & Career Guidance: Volunteers guide students with academic and career choices

  • Educational Materials: Books, stationery, school bags, uniforms, and digital tools

 
We pride ourselves in creating a holistic enabling ecosystem while funding education requirements of such deserving children. We do this by involving key stakeholders in the entire process. A good example is the manner in which the schools that partner with us routinely discount part annual costs for meritorious students. We have set ourselves ambitious targets of expanding our education support activities to include certain specific professional courses such as Engineering, Medicine, Architecture and Business at undergraduate levels. The financial support extended to such families also includes grants for procuring peripheral, but important education related items such as school uniforms, text books, stationary items. For the past couple of years, we have begun to lay extra emphasis on identifying and sponsoring female students from financially deserving backgrounds.

Our Students' Success

When JS Trust’ s Shiksha Sahayak “ adopts ” a child’ s education needs, we make a promise to them to support their needs at least up to 12th Grade. With this structure, students learn and thrive in a positive environment.

 

Primary

Youth in grades KG – 8 receive financial aid to cover tuition, books, and fees. 82% of primary students sponsored by Shiksha Sahayak passed their math & science core classes.

 

Secondary
Students in Grades 9 –10 receive tutoring and financial aid to continue their education. 65% of 10th Grade students sponsored successfully passed their secondary board exams.

 

Higher Secondary Since inception, the number of students who complete 12th Grade have increased every year. These students embark on college and career-orientated educations, ensuring success and readiness for their futures.

 

Our goal is to achieve a 100% pass rate among the sponsored students who take their higher secondary board exams.

Shiksha Sahayak is our effort to bridge that gap.

Our Path Forward

Shiksha Sahayak is proud to report another year of strong support from our amazing donors who enable us to serve more schoolchildren than ever. As we look ahead toward supporting new communities, we remain committed to fiscal prudence to ensure sustainability for each student we support.

 

Our funding model ensures that although the donors have the flexibility in choosing the frequency and extent of their donations, we make sure that female students, especially, once educationally adopted, continue to have our support till the end of their higher secondary school tenure.

 

Looking forward, we are planning to build educational resource centers for students in Delhi NCR in coming years. The purpose of these centers will be to provide in-house tutoring, learning centers, computer labs, healthy afterschool meals, and more.
