Project Report: Holistic Development of Children through Evening Classes
Executive Summary
SAVE Charitable Trust envisions transforming the lives of 1.4 lakh children across 2,800 tribal villages in 22 Mandals of Alluri Sitarama Raju District, Andhra Pradesh, by providing value-based education, life skills, and nutritional support through evening classes. This proposal introduces a Phase-I Pilot Program in 50 villages of Srikakulam District, laying the foundation for district-wide implementation.
We seek CSR funding of INR 25.5 Lakhs for the 12-month pilot phase to demonstrate a scalable and impactful model that will be replicated in Alluri District. The model focuses on volunteer-led holistic education, rooted in local culture, moral values, and community engagement.
