Contributions

Aksharam's reach, effectiveness and longevity is completely dependent on your monetary support. Typically, we spend approximately Rs. 1500 (approx. $30 USD)  to support a student at the school level for a full academic year.  Our grants at the collegiate levels are bigger and we spend an average of Rs. 7500 (approx. $150 USD) per student annually.

Any contribution towards Aksharam is greatly appreciated. We value your willingness to contribute just as much as the size of your donation or its frequency.
