4 New Cases Identified in Khadra (Daliganj) Area

Our team members have identified the following cases in Daliganj Area (Khadra - Near Mohan Meakins):

This family lives next to railway tracks (very close to Daliganj Railway Station) in a shanty house made up of polythene roof and 6 sticks to support it as pillars. There are 7 members in the family; and ONLY ONE earning member - who barely makes Rs. 2,000/- per month by working in a zardozi shop. The father is an old man - hence he does not works; only elder brother works. There are 4 children going to school in this family. They study in Class I, Class II, Class III, and Class VI respectively. The fee per child is Rs. 85 per month. Therefore the fees for all 4 children for ONE YEAR would be Rs. 4080/-.

Aaghaz needs your support in eradicating illiteracy from our community, and helping in empowering the community to fight social and economic backwardness.
