The ShamaKids program matches sponsors with a particular child. Your contribution provides what these children need to be able to attend school such as school supplies, tutoring, nutritious meals, and medical examinations. These children are from destitute families, and they would not be able to attend school without your help.
The ShamaKids program operates as a branch of SHAMA, Inc., a non-profit, tax exempt, charitable organization working for the empowerment of impoverished women and children of India. ShamaKids operates solely on volunteer people power, so that every penny of sponsors' contributions goes directly to the support of the sponsored child's education.
We are happy to announce that almost 500 children have found sponsors through the ShamaKids program. Because of that success, more needy children have been added to the list of those seeking sponsors.
