This Christmas…
For 20 years, Helping Point has been providing quality education to children from Dalit and marginalized communities. The charity equips them with knowledge, credentials, and confidence to break the cycle of poverty.
Today, it’s more important than ever to support education. We need to help children get back up to speed at school, having missed so much due to COVID-19 restrictions.
It’s been said that we’re all in the same storm in the pandemic, but we’re not all in the same boat. This statement has been especially true for children in Helping Point’s communities. The majority don’t have access to the internet at home so couldn’t learn online, and many families lost incomes overnight. While Helping Point provided study materials and emergency groceries, and St Simon’s teachers rang pupils regularly, nothing can replace face-to-face classes.
St Simon’s School and the Daycare Centres are now 80% open again, and our hopes are high for education in 2022. Once more, kids are receiving quality teaching and care from Helping Point’s teachers and staff, as well as uniforms and food - while following pandemic protocols. Without the generosity of our donors, this wouldn’t be possible.
This Christmas, please consider giving towards Helping Point’s educational programs - and give towards a fairer future.
