Schoolchildren flying high with new dreams Transform Lives one school at a time is giving wings to schoolchildren to fly high with new dreams and new hope reflected in their eyes. This inspiring change is thanks to generous partners—the district education department and individual donors who are supporting innovations and programs that are improving the quality of education in rural communities. The much-talked-about construction under this project of a digital classroom at a government school in Indragarh School in Alwar, Rajasthan, is evidence of how schoolchildren are becoming motivated to stay in school, learn more, and think big.

You can be part of this change for more rural schoolchildren!As many as 130 million school-age children in primary government schools in rural India still do not have the most basic requirements for a nurturing and safe learning environment and lack essential skills training to prepare them for a bright future. Your donation of any amount will be matched 1:1 by Dr. Suri Sehgal & Mrs. Edda Sehgal to transform more children’s lives.
