Call for donations for Computer Lab

John’s Academy School was built by our local partners in Hyderabad last year and will enable almost 300 children to attend school from summer 2021 independently of Usthi. To equip the computer room, nine more computers have to be purchased. Therefore, Usthi is asking for donations.

Usthi’s partner organisation in Hyderabad is active in several areas together with Usthi. Now the partner in Hyderabad is realising its own school project, which will give children and young people access to quality education in the future. The operation of John’s Academy will start in June 2021 and will be financed independently of Usthi. In the first year, about 280 children will be able to start their school education. For the next three years, a continuous expansion to a total of 400 children is planned.

The construction of the school has already been completed and the classrooms are equipped with everything necessary for an efficient and pleasant learning environment. Further, sports facilities have been installed and the operation has been approved by the government.

Computer labs are a key element for the children’s learning success and IT skills are of great importance in the Indian context. The school now is in need of financial support to equip the computer lab.

With a donation for the computer laboratory of John’s Academy, you contribute to a high-quality education for the children in Hyderabad and enable them to acquire important skills for their future. Thank you very much!
