During FY23 we sent grants for local innovative educational projects like The Learning Community, which strives to build a community where children and adults can grow more conscious of themselves, each other and the environment, by learning and

  • working together. We also sent funds for Deepam School for Students with Disabilities, which nurtures the talents and gifts of 25 students with special needs from the rural villages around Auroville and provides early intervention support to an additional 30 local youth with disabilities. And we supported Aikiyam School, where 268 young people from the local villages receive a high quality education that combines a Montessori-inspired approach with Sri Aurobindos teachings on integral education and a robust arts and vocational program.We also send funding to regional and national educational projects like EcoFemme, which has provided menstrual health education and cloth pad kits to over 80,000 (Continued on Schedule O)
