This is one of the most appalling schools we have ever been asked to help! The pictures and video below show the dreadful conditions the 607 children attending this school in Mankua Village, Moradabad, have to endure along with the long suffering staff. The current building is unhygienic, unfit for purpose and extremely unsafe. Even in these conditions, after the closure by the Government of all other schools in the area, there are a further 250 children desperately waiting to join the school, bringing the potential numbers of children aged 5 to 15 to 900 and more.
Moradabad is a Muslim area of Uttar Pradesh, one of poorest states in India. Muslims are often seen by Government as second class citizens and treated accordingly. In this school children of all religions and castes are welcome, all of them are poor.
Having raised £45,000 to make safe and refurbish the current school, LFT would like to raise further funds to construct for the staff and children: a block of 5 classrooms, a staff room, a teacher’s room and an office. We would also like to build separate new toilets and washing facilities for the staff, the girls and the boys. The current facilities are horrific.
Can you help us help these children?
