More than 80 girls from nine different villages attend the Kaliyachak Girls' School in rural Bihar. The school has six teachers, one administrative assistant. The students are in classes I to V. All come from disdvantaged backgrounds, and 15% are from very vulnerable communities.
With support from donors like you, these girls are learning basic math skills, reading and writing as well as having time for play whether that's jumping rope, or playing board games or drawing.
They play the board game, Ludo, which originated in India as far back as 3300 BC. Variations of Ludo include Parcheesi and Sorry.
Each day they also eat a healthy lunch of vegetables, dal and rice served by their teachers. The meals are served simply on banana leaf plates and eaten with fingers.
