An Appeal- Maithri Trust turns 25 years.... #Maithri25

Maithri Educational & Charitable Trust was started in 1991 with the objective of providing financial assistance to needy children to pursue their education. We at Maithri firmly believe that education is fundamental to human liberation. Maithri Trust celebrates #Maithri25, our Silver Jubilee year. (1991-2016)
Maithri Trust started off funding for 7 students in 1991 & thanks to our donor's, currently extending educational benefits for 250+ students.
Maithri Trust, is continuing to strive to educate children from economically deprived families to provide them a purposeful future and bright career. 
We have around 30 students who have passed Plus 2 this year and planning to pursue professional/higher studies. 
Cost of professional/higher studies is between 30,000-50,000/-, against school fees which is around 10,000-15,000/-. In 2015 Maithri supported up to 12 students to Professional courses. This year the student numbers have doubled, and there is incremental cost due to escalation of fee structure in colleges.
Maithri Trust has had the support of regular donors, still there is substantial gap to be filled, due to escalation in number of students and cost escalation.
Hence we appeal to support the cause of Maithri Trust and help us fulfill the commitment of educate needy children.
