Many students in our service area are dropping out of school before graduation, since their parents cannot to afford to provide uniform, text books, school bag and such other items. Their parents are mainly working in shops & establishments, market yards, hotels or work as auto drivers, rickshaw pullers, vegetable vendors, or domestic help. We motivate their parents through counseling sessions to send their children to school.

VDO has been providing educational material to these poor children who attend Government Schools. We provide educational material consisting of text books, notebooks, geometry box, pencils, pens, and school uniforms, clothes, shoes, school bag, lunch box, etc... We select the candidates by personal visits to their homes to assess the family background. We also take inputs from the school head masters to select the students who are doing well in studies. So far we have provided such support to about 170 students studying in classes from 1st to 10th standard. There is pressing need to help more poor and needy students for continuing their education
