Arya belongs to Pattathanam village in Edathua region of Alleppey district. Arya’s father is a daily wage labourer.  Even though her parents have always found it quite challenging to make their ends meet, their life took a different turn when Arya’s sister fainted while at school. The doctors found a tumour on her heart. The family’s plea for help received encouraging response from many kind-hearted people and organizations in Kerala. With their support her sister underwent heart surgery. But she has not fully regained the strength in her hands and legs. Arya’s grandmother and Aunt also live with them. However, her grandmother suffers from diabetes and her aunt is differently-abled. So her father needs to find the money for their medicines as well.

Most of Arya’s neighbours are families that survive on daily wages for their living. Her house protected by only a tin-sheet roof, is located in a water-logged marshy area. The devastating floods of 2018 damaged their home built 32 years ago. But they were not able to repair it thoroughly as they got only 10,000 rupees from the Government. The water in the area is contaminated. So the family needs to buy water for drinking and cooking.

Arya is studying in class 9 and goes to a school 5 kilometres away from her home. Her teachers say that she is a good student. But she finds school Maths a bit difficult to understand. Since her family cannot afford to send her for extra tuitions, Value Education Trust is providing her with free training in Vedic Maths. Arya says that she is gaining confidence in solving Maths questions at school. Even though her circumstances are not favourable, she dreams of becoming a doctor one day.

Value Education Trust empowers children like Arya. Our donors stand with us in providing free training in Vedic Mathematics to children of 12 to 15 years, belonging to poor and needy families in India.  Your support can enable them to achieve proficiency in Maths and excel in school work.
