Projects: SKB

Sarada Kalyan Bhandar (SKB) is a womens' initiative in West Bengal. In addition to running a complementary study center and a comprehensive health care program, they support higher education for young women. They provide the girls with a stipend for their living expenses, college tuition and books - so that they can pursue their dreams without having to worry about money.

Through Support-A-Child, you can directly sponsor the college education of individual women. SKB selects these girls according to their financial need and merit. To stimulate womens' higher education in rural West Bengal, SKB supports everything that the student requires.

The contact person for this project is Chinmay Dhavalikar.

Listed below are the brief profiles for these girls. Names in RED require support.
