Infrastructure and Operating Needs
There is an urgent need to develop the Gayatri Public School infrastructure in the next few years. Current requirements are clean sustainable drinking water provisions for 500 students, solar panels for consistent electricity, additional classrooms, and an auditorium. The total expenditure of this project will be around $100,000 through 2017.
The tuition and transportation fee per student are around $15.00 per month, however over 50% is contributed by Himalayan Hope Charitable Foundation, which amounts to around $2000 per month.
A small contribution from well wishers and friends will help us to achieve our objective. Any contribution is much appreciated and is tax deductible in the US.
