This Gurukul is built and kept by its community
From the second year onward, the School Management Committee must raise at least half of the running budget itself. That half is what we ask the community to help carry.
Where your money goes
DPCCT carries the operational cost of a new Gurukul through its first year. From the second year onward, the School Management Committee must secure a minimum of 50% of the approved yearly operating budget through its own fundraising. That half is what we are asking the community to help carry.
It pays for the ordinary things a residential school cannot do without: three cooked meals a day, bedding and clothing, notebooks and geometry boxes, sports equipment, medicines and first aid, and the salaries of the teachers and hostel staff who live alongside the children.
Feed a child for a month
Three cooked meals a day, seven days a week.
A full learning kit
Notebooks, geometry box, school bag and stationery.
Bedding and clothing
The full joining kit for one new student.
The kitchen garden
Seed, saplings and tools for the plantation.
Other ways to help
- Give materials, not money. Rice and provisions, blankets, books, sports equipment and clothing are all welcome and all recorded.
- Give your time. The SMC engages local volunteers to help with teaching, sports, creative arts and computer education.
- Teach what you know. Nyibus and elders who can carry rituals, folklore, songs and bamboo craft to the children are the most valuable gift of all.
