MS Foundation School

Our sponsoring project is run by our School Patron, Tom Holloway,
who is a retired I T Consultant now living in Hyderabad.

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.

Sponsors will be regularly sent a copy of our newsletter 'shukriya' which keeps donors up to date with what is going on in the school and what events are happening with news and pictures.

Our Internet Bank account is 01476591 and the sort-code is 07-02-46. If you would like any more information about donating please email either sponsors@holloways.org or Rachel Evans, or call her on +44 (0)7779011856

 







If sponsoring isn't convenient, perhaps make
a small donation?
