The pandemic in India has continued to be incredibly challenging for the Acts of Hope School in Kasavanahali with Covid restrictions in place for most of the year. Where restrictions allowed the staff have successfully delivered classes at the school. As the children attending the school live in disadvantaged communities, remote learning has been difficult as few children have access to laptops. The school finally reopened fully from June 2021.
In response to an urgent request from the School for support, the UK Charity transferred funding of £11,000 to the Indian AOH Charity during the year to cover: Books and Uniforms £2,000, Bus Repair and Servicing £2,500, Staff Wages for one month £4500, In addition £2,000 Higher Education Support was provided from the ‘Restricted Funds’.
