Project Amardeep

Project Amardeep is a new project funded by ASHA in 2009. It is a school for urban slum kids located in Indore, in Central India, in the state of Madhya Pradesh and is managed by Babaji India Foundation, a US based trust registered in Indore. The objective of the project is to run an English medium school for slum kids with a focus on computer literacy. 

Started in April 2005 with five students, the school has 73 children currently enrolled. Today it also employs 3 dedicated teachers and a helper. The children are taught in English, with emphasis in Math and Science. The curriculum is heavily computer oriented so that graduating students will be computer literate and stand in good stead to get a job, pursue further education and work towards a secure future. The school also provides them with a clean, healthy and loving environment to help them grow as individuals, gain confidence in themselves and achieve their full potential. 

Requirements:

The monetary requirements of the school are for the following:

• Benches for children
