Our Impact
105 extremely tribal zilla parishad schools were digitised by God’s grace due to which 5394 tribal ZP school kids are enjoying digital learning by 13th Nov 2024.
The tribal ZP schools are such extremely located that there are mountains, jungles & rivers nearby & we can hardly find anything around other than small hutments in the tribal hamlet.

Daily breakfast in Uthava tribal ZP school
Uthava tribal is one of the extremely located in Ajnup area of Shahpur taluka. In fact, its the last tribal place in that area & the road ends after this tribal place.
There are approx 28/30 tribal ZP school kids in this tribal ZP school headed by Mr. Bharat Magar sir who is the principal of this tribal school. The families residing here are very poor & so the kids who do not have any breakfast in the morning come to school daily hungry at around 10 am & have their lunch at around 1 pm. Hence they do not concentrate on their studies on being empty stomach.
So “Mauli group of Dombivli” started the daily breakfast here & as always we got beautiful donors who are God send.
Background story to start the breakfast
On the eve of my Bday in Aug 2022, asked the sir “What shud I give sir? We have everything, right from TV, writing pads, notebooks etc.?” To which the sir replied to provide them small dishes, spoons & glasses. Curiously I asked the reason to which the sir said, those kids do get daily breakfast from 1 NGO & because they do not have any dishes, they eat on paper after it is washed or in a half portion of coconut etc. So we gifted dishes, spoons & glasses.
Few months down the line, that NGO disappeared.
Then wifey & I discussed that “Because of us if some kids wud be happily having something to eat, aur kya mangta hain life mein”
That’s how this breakfast started & we give monthly grains to the sir & he does it for them.
