Turnstone Global’s Sponsorship program is for under-privileged children who are living in above areas with low income status of families, mostly orphaned and/or abandoned children. Overall, the program focuses on the children’s educational development. Our main aim is to support the underprivileged children to stand on their own feet in the society. This program has been commenced in Siliguri,Hura in District- Purulia,Budhia in Malda district,Narsinghgarh in Agartala, Tripura,Kolkata and other parts of India.
What we do?
The sponsorship is a monthly payment scheme for the expenses of their education. 25% of the monthly sponsorship money must be deposited to the bank savings account. The progress of the education is evaluated by the field officers monthly and quarterly home visits and report to the donors. The field officers act as an intermediate channel to the donor and the child. E-cards and Christmas cards will be sent to the respective individual child sponsors as to appreciate the precious support and to strengthen further the connection between them. Further, we take care of every child as “foster parents” and observe their health conditions. In addition give guidance to follow “Vocational Training” when needed. We concern about their studies and when they reach the age of 16 to 18 years we help them to follow Vocational Training programs. We believe that it will be a hold for them to stand on their own feet with the society, if they are employed or self-employed.
Scholarship Program
Scholarship provided to children with average marks of 60% of the subjects in school exams will qualify for the Scholarship Program. Marks will be carefully checked at the end of each year with school progress reports. The Scholarship children are getting more opportunities and chances to request educational needs from our Organization since it is an unattainable task for their guardians.
