SHREE JAI MARUTHI TRUST

Education is a Weapon which can change the world

About
SJM TRUST, a charity inspired by Buddhist values, works alongside the most excluded people in South Asia, overcoming discrimination with locally-led education, gender equality and sustainable livelihood projects.

Our Main Objectives

Historically, many of the communities SJM TRUST works with have been denied education and suffered from high drop out rates. We work holistically with schools, parents and children, providing support structures to enable disadvantaged children to take full advantage of the mainstream school system. SJM TRUST ensures that children are informed about their rights and can develop a sense of agency – becoming positive role models for one another and the change-makers for the next generation, taking their futures into their own hands.

Our Vision and Mission
To educate and empower underprivileged children and support them till they are gainfully employed. To do our best so that the current generation of underprivileged children living below the poverty line integrate seamlessly into mainstream society. To impart quality education, and all-round development, including skill building, in order to provide avenues for employment that are suited to every child’s dominant intelligence and strengths.

Why do we exist?

In Bangalore, nearly one million people live in slums, and about one third of slum dwellers fall below the poverty line. Most children are first generation literates. Poor quality of education in government schools and rising school fees year after year have led to steep dropouts at primary and secondary levels. The average education of parents is up to grade 5 (tamil or kannada Medium). Their average monthly income is below Rs.10,000 per month. The Teacher-student ratio is 1 : 30 in government schools.

There is a child in every adult, is the aphorism, but I believe it is the other way around, that is there is an adult in every child!
