Background on Bhatti Mines School Project:

The Amala Foundation has committed to offer its support and partnership to the Bhatti Mines School through fundraising and service trips to teach and work at the school. This school, located outside of New Delhi, works to educate 200 children in an effort to improve their quality of life and end child labor practices. This will be Amala’s third service trip to the school.

Without water or power, the 30,000 residents of the villages of Bhatti Mines
face extreme hardship of poverty and unemployment, which forces many children to find manual labor jobs to help support their families. Additionally, the right of the people to occupy the land around the former
mine continues to be unrecognized by the government: the villagers lack even the most basic services, and their homes are routinely bulldozed by the authorities.

The Amala Foundation is dedicated to improving the human condition through service, empowerment, and inspirational education. Our programs seek a peaceful and equitable future for all people by helping communities develop sustainably, consciously and lovingly.
