Our Appeal

Appeal

At Dakshini Prayash, we believe every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and dream beyond their circumstances. For over three decades, we have been committed to the holistic development of children in the Madurdaha community of Kolkata—nurturing not only their academics but also their talents, health, and well-being.

Our school engages children in dance, music, art, and other creative activities while building a strong foundation in English through Teach for India Fellows from Classes I to VI. This is part of our journey to transform into an English-medium school and secure affiliation with the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education till class X.

We also provide:

  • Daily nutritious meals to support healthy growth
  • Weekly health clinics to address medical needs
  • Morning coaching classes for 50+ children—the foundation on which Dakshini Prayash was first built.
  • After-school training in Table Tennis, Football, and Self-Defence to promote physical fitness and confidence.
  • Opportunities in sports competitions, where our children have excelled—winning podium finishes in marathons and becoming runners-up as well as winners in an inter-school girls’ cricket tournament for the past two years.

Our dedicated team of 37 teachers, 7 support staff, and 5 administrative staff work tirelessly to bring lasting change to our community.

This year, we are seeking to raise ₹5,00,000—enough to cover the cost of educating and caring for 25 children (one classroom) in our pre-primary/primary section for a full year. The cost per child is ₹19,000, which includes tuition, stationery, and school running costs.

Your support will ensure these children receive quality education, and a safe environment to explore their full potential.
