Support A Child Assam Foundation of North America has been supporting (and plans to continue supporting) a number of educational institutions and orphanages for underprivileged children. These include Parijat Academy and Snehalaya in Guwahati, Asha Darshan in Tamulpur, Prajnalaya in Jorhat, and Rural Volunteer Force in Dhemaji, Assam. The foundation, in collaboration with these institutions, has a program ‘Support A Child’. With this program, an individual sponsor can take care of the educational cost of a child, who would otherwise not be able to complete his/her education. We typically plan on a sponsorship of Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000 per child per year. With the help of sustained contributions from generous donors over the last few years, the foundation is proud to be able to help these children continue their valuable education.
