Balo Is a Lifetime of Community

Shrawan, Nikhil, Sachin, and Sumit started with Balo as 5 year old kids when they won the Balo founder, Betta’s, heart. Our Balo teacher would pick them up off the streets in the afternoon for Kindergarten tutoring. They grew with the school, and when they were ready for third grade, Balo didn’t have the space to continue their education, so we paid for their education in a rigorous private school. In the next few years, Balo expanded, purchased our current building and grew into a school serving 350 students from preschool through 12th grade.

These fabulous gentlemen were then educated in-house for the last five years until they graduated. Shrawan, Nikhil, Sachin, and Sumit are now university students who still live in the Balo neighborhood. They visit the school multiple times as week and are devoted volunteers with smiles on their face. Balo is part of their identity and home.

Several of our Balo graduates, including Shrawan, Nikhil, Sachin, and Sumit work at Decathlon Sporting Good store in Kolkata. They attended a three month training program and passed an exam to earn this opportunity which pays their university fees and helps their families overcome poverty.

YOUR DONATION MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
