3 Oz NRIs to support underprivileged kids
|
|
Melbourne, Aug 25: It all began in 2007 when a group
of three Non Resident Indians from Australia joined hands to
establish a non profit organisation, in a bid to support
disadvantaged children of Rajasthan to pursue their academic
goals.
These three community leaders along with an Australian
dental surgeon established 'Yatra Foundation' that aims to
make education accessible for underprivileged children
incorporating child health, education and public health
initiatives in the school setting.
Foundation's co-founder and managing director of a
Melbourne-based sporting goods company Sanjay Jain, told
that the NGO had bigger projects for Rajasthan that included
launch of two mobile schools after successfully running two
schools.
Jain along with reputed paediatrician Ravi Savarirayan,
fashion designer Renu Binaykia and dental surgeon Sophie
Beaumont have been actively organising three to four fund
raising events every year to resource the current schools and
open more schools in the area.
Interestingly, the NGO has not been able to tap NRIs for
such a cause and Jain revealed that funds are largely
contributed by local Australians.
