The Trust was asked to fund the building of a new school in the middle of the small town of Garur in Uttrakhand. Some 150 poor children, aged 3 to 16 years, attended the makeshift school which was formerly a chicken farm. The buildings had no windows or doors so the children were exposed to extreme heat in summer as well as the wet, cold winter weather.

The impressive new school building is now complete and provides free education to 31 students who live below poverty line and 62 under-privileged students who receive scholarships funded by the Indian Government. The school is non profit making, only charging minimal fees to students whose families can afford to pay. The fees are used for staff wages.

To increase capacity, the school is currently being extended to include 2 extra classrooms, 1 office with attached bathroom, 2 toilets blocks (1 for boys & 1 for girls), 1 bathroom for staff and 1 storeroom.
