Helping Keshav unpack his potential

Eight-year-old Keshav* enjoys school, where his favourite lesson is Hindi. “I love listening to the poems the teacher recites,” he says.

But, until recently, Keshav was one of the roughly 13 million children in India not attending school.**

Instead, with his father earning only a very basic wage, Keshav spent long days collecting rubbish to supplement his family’s income. Like so many of the families we work with, the time and energy it took to make ends meet left little space for education.

Will you give a gift today so that more children like Keshav can experience the potential that education can bring?
