SPONSOR A SCHOOL
When you choose to adopt a school in India with Akshaya Patra, your special commitment ensures that a whole community of children has access to both a nutritious daily meal in school and an all-important education.
Beginning at £1,500 annually for a school of around 100 children and rising to various funding levels beyond this depending on the school size, there are lots of options to choose from. You can even select to share a larger school with other generous donors.
If you’d like to support a school in a particular city, state or region of India, we’ll be happy to arrange the best available match for you.
You will receive an annual report detailing your school’s progress, complete with some lovely photographs, and – should you ever wish to visit your adopted school – we’re available to arrange this in coordination with the school’s management and the local authorities.
Over time, many of our sponsors develop close personal relationships with their schools, such is the power and depth of the ongoing commitment to provide healthy and nutritious meals to the children in the adopted community.
Please email us at hello@akshayapatra.org.uk to sponsor a school today.
THE FIVE STEPS OF SCHOOL SPONSORSHIP
Email us at hello@akshayapatra.org.uk letting us know which size of school you would ideally like to sponsor and any location preferences. It costs £15 to feed each student for a year and the minimum sponsorship level (to help with stewarding the administration costs of this project) is £1,500 or 100 students.
We will look at our list of available schools across India and compare it with your preferences, before contacting you to discuss your options and formally matching you to your adopted school.
Arrange to donate your funds to sponsor your school for the next year in one instalment – or get ready to fundraise to meet your annual sponsorship goal with your family, friends, colleagues or community group.
You can look forward to receiving our joyful and uplifting annual school sponsorship report and share the impact of your support for Akshaya Patra’s work with your network of contacts.
Many school sponsors like to nurture long-term relationships with their supported schools and we’ll reach out to you after each annual cycle of sponsorship to ask if you’d like to renew your funding for another year.
