How To Help

We welcome all kinds of help including donations of time, services or money.  If you are planning to visit Varanasi and would like to be a part of our school in any way, feel free to contact us.  We would love to be a part of your Varanasi experience.  Previous volunteers have spent as little as two hours at the school (taking photos, playing games, teaching a hobby) and up to three years (teaching crafts to the children once a week).

Although we cannot currently offer a tax-deductible receipt (we are working on this!), you may follow this link to make a financial donation through PayPal.  Since it only costs us $10 per month to educate a child, even small donations make a big difference.  Our current running costs are about $2500 per month.

If you prefer, you may send a check directly to:

Hope & Joy Society for the Underprivileged
B30/2A-6-1 Gangabag Colony, Lanka
Varanasi 221005  UP  INDIA

    Thank you for your interest and support. This work is a challenge for us, but we feel happy that we have been given the opportunity to positively impact the lives of the students, their families, and the community in which they live.

Best wishes from,

and the children of Asha Deep Vidyashram
