Bright Sparks is a small primary school in Mohali, north India. It gives a free education to over a hundred children from a shanty town who would otherwise miss out on school completely. Many now move on to access mainstream education, and all get to experience a safe environment in which to learn and thrive. The shanty town where the children live is on the banks of a polluted river. Most are working children whose parents are migrant workers: labourers, fruit sellers or cleaners. Bright Sparks helps to break this cycle of poverty and illiteracy. The school has five primary classes with five teachers. It costs 16.5k per annum to run the school including salaries for 7 teachers and rental of the premises. The school - teachers, pupils and parents - has recently been badly hit by Covid and could really do with all the help it can get. Learn more about the school here: https://brightsparks.org
