Many children in the community are kept out of school by their parents. This is often because they cannot afford the smallest of school fees (we charge 50 rupees - 65 pence per month), but also because the children must work to support the family.

This is particularly true for girls - by the time they are twelve or thirteen they are becoming young women and can expect to be married off within a few years; and so they are used by hard-pressed mothers to look after smaller children or to work (and become household drudges/workers) so that the mother can go out to work as a builder's labourer, carrying baskets of bricks or sand or sacks of cement.

The school runs a nursery for smaller pre-school children especially so that these young girls have a better chance of attending and remaining in our school.

We ask people who can afford it to set up a standing order for just £3 per month and details can be found below. £36 per year pays for the schooling of one child plus money towards teachers, building rent, electricity and stationary

We promise you - all donations go to the MS Foundation school. Not one penny is kept for administration.
