Lotus Flower Trust promised the Indian Child Welfare Society and Education Department to help fund the building of 30 Anganwadi, or Kindergartens, in remote regions of Ladakh. This is to help promote early years education and establish a culture of 'going to school' when previously opportunities for children here were limited to working on the land.

To date we have built 18 Anganwadi, including this one at Sumoor Village in Ladakh, India. Thanks to generous funds from Delhi Duty Free, we also funded the construction of kitchen and dining facilities here which are now almost complete. This will help to feed the 61 children who attend and prepare them both physically and mentally for the adjacent primary school from age 6 onwards.

We need your help to fund 12 more Anganwadi. At £10,000 each to build, it costs a relatively small amount to make a big difference to so many lives. Please click here to donate if you can:
