This grant provides cell phones, SIM cards and SIM card recharging for students and the principal of Gamru Village School in Dharamsala, India to ensure students have online access and their learning can continue whether the physical school is open or closed. In the global Covid-19 environment, online study is crucial for students to stay current with academic curriculum when schools are closed.

3. Who were the beneficiaries, how were they impacted by this project, and what humanitarian need was met?

The beneficiaries are 21 students and the principal of Gamru Village School. The devoted teachers of Gamru Village School are doing their best to continue teaching in this unfortunate environment.

This grant leveled the playing field for these students who are already disadvantaged as a result of their poverty. They were positively impacted by the ability to continue their education.
