Hello, I'm sure we all agree that our child's education is key to escaping or lessoning poverty.  How do I donate directly to my child and her family?  Thank you :)

The best thing you can do is contact th​e care team. I had sent education EGs at 2 different times, but what she really needed was a tablet, which would have been the cost ​those two extra gifts combined. But I didn't know that. it wasn't until I asked them what she needed and I got a report that I was able to get her something the tablet that really helped her.

You can send in an extra gift and ask that it be used for any educational needs first. In India, often the parents can afford to pay for school itself, but can’t afford “tuitions” aka after school tutoring that more well off kids all go to to supplement their school education and help them pass the tests (you have to pass a test at the end of the year to move up in schools in India). Tuitions also allows them to get more detailed information that may be lacking in their school. Tuitions are super important to help kids succeed in India and usually are relatively inexpensive. 

I hope that helps!
