Usthi wishes happy holidays

The Usthi Foundation looks back on an eventful year and wishes its supporters peaceful holidays and an excellent start to the new year. 

Shortly after the start of the new project year and the successful expansion of the projects in Hyderabad, cyclone Fani hit the Usthi School in Penthakata. Thanks to the generous support of numerous private individuals and individual institutions, Usthi’s local partner organisation was able to provide emergency relief to the school children and their families immediately after the storm and resume school operations on time for the new school year.

The great solidarity of long-standing donors continues to impress the Usthi team. Thanks to the great support that Usthi receives day after day, the Usthi projects in India give numerous children, teenagers and young adults better opportunities for the future and a dignified life.

The Usthi Team wishes all supporters and partners a happy holiday season and a good start into 2020!
