Empowering the under-privileged through Education.
The Need
Every child has the ability to learn. For many the opportunity to quality education is beyond reach due to financial inabilities. Single parents, first generation school goers, poverty, drives them towards menial jobs than pursuing education at school. Many children from this society meander away and later on find themselves lost in life. The “Gift of Life” program is a way to put children in school so they can move beyond the barriers of poverty and achieve in life through education. Many such children have been touched through this program in South India and Africa.

Education is a Right
"The Opportunity"
Early on in his school days, Tommy took a note back home from his teacher. It said “Please do not send Tommy back to school. He is incapable of leaning”. His mother, though upset at the note, did not winch a bit. She home schooled Tommy, who later on went on to illuminate the world. Tommy was none other than"Thomas Alva Edison "
The Opportunity of education does make a difference. The Gift of Life program is tailor made for this. Many deserving children are not in school, with finance being a barrier to this opportunity.
Lets come together to send more children to school. Donate to the Gift for Life program.
