Study rooms · evening meal · Nagpur

Two rooms where homework actually gets done.

Eighty-four children are on the rolls this term, across two rented rooms with lights, mats, two didis and a hot evening meal, six evenings a week. This page costs the work openly and asks for one thing: tell us how you want to help, and the office will write back the same week.

The work, this month

Two rented rooms in the bastis off Kamptee Road, Nagpur
How giving happens
At the office, receipted — never in cash at a door, never on this page

The first cell is read off this term's attendance register, and it changes when the register does. If a bigger number ever appears there than the rooms could hold, disbelieve the page.

Ways to give or join

Ways to give or join, costed openly

Every figure below is what the thing actually costs this trust, this year, in this city — not a round number chosen to feel good. The famous national programmes feed a child for far less per year because government grain and industrial kitchens carry most of it; a two-room trust cooking on its own gas pays retail, and the cards say so. When a cost changes, the card changes.

Monthly

One child's evening meal, one month

Khichdi, a vegetable, sometimes an egg — ₹28 a plate at our stove, times 26 study evenings, plus the gas cylinder's share. That is the whole sum.

  • 26 hot evening meals for one child
  • Bought at the same mandi our cook haggles in
  • The month's menu sheet, if you ask for it
₹800a month

Monthly

One child's study seat, one month

Rent, electricity and the two didis' honorariums, divided by eighty-four seats. The unglamorous card, and the one the work stands on.

  • One child's share of rent, light and didi
  • Six evenings a week of a quiet lit room
  • The seat stays theirs all term
₹550a month

One-time

A school kit, once a year

Bag, six notebooks, geometry box, pencils — the list schools hand out in June and the bastis' children photograph and put away. Priced at this year's stationery bill.

  • One full kit, bought in bulk each June
  • Handed over at the room, not couriered
  • The bill for the batch shown on request
₹650one-time

Volunteer

Two evenings a week of you

The didis manage forty-two children each. An adult who can sit with a maths workbook for an hour is worth more to this room than most cheques.

  • A fixed weekday pair, so children can rely on you
  • You start with the youngest table
  • The office checks your ID once, plainly, for the children's sake
Freegive time

In kind

The atta and oil shelf

The kitchen shelf runs on 10 kg atta bags, oil, and toor dal. Things, not money — brought to the room on any study evening, receipted by weight in the stock book.

  • A list of what the shelf is short of, updated weekly
  • Your bag entered in the stock book while you watch
  • No perishables — the fridge is small and honest
Freegive things

Pick the way you want to help and it lands in the form below. Picking another replaces it — this page records one intention at a time, not a basket. NO MONEY MOVES ON THIS PAGE: nothing is charged, deducted or collected here, and how giving actually happens is written under the form.

On the ground

The rooms on an ordinary evening

No festival-day photography and no staged gratitude. These frames are placeholders for photographs of your own rooms on a working evening — children as learners, never as objects of pity, faces only with a guardian's written consent.

How giving actually happens

Paste the trust's bank account name, number and IFSC here, and the UPI ID if you use one — exactly as the bank has them, with 'receipted within three days' only if your office genuinely does that.
This template takes no money and has no donate button on purpose: a payment rail nobody audits is how giving pages go wrong. Add your real rails here, or keep giving at the office only — both are honest.

Words you have permission to print

A parent or a donor, in their own words, with their name — collected with written permission, and with a child's name or face appearing only if their guardian agreed in writing.
A testimonial nobody said is worse than none, and a child quoted without a guardian's consent is worse than that. Leave this empty until you have both.

Your honest record

Last quarter's numbers, dated: what came in, what it bought, and this term's enrolment from the register. The audited annual figures go here exactly as the auditor wrote them.
Never a cumulative total. The number this page is allowed to print is the one your register can show a visitor on the day they ask.

The frames above are placeholder photographs of the kind of work this page is about — not this organisation's own record, and never a person whose face buys sympathy. The slots below are deliberately blank: this is a template, and an invented beneficiary count, an invented donor or an invented 80G number would be a lie on a page asking people to give — and inventing the tax registration is an offence. Fill each slot with something real and checkable, then delete this line.

How it works

From this form to a receipted gift

Three steps, and money moves only at the office, only against a receipt.

  1. Tell us how you want to help

    The form below records what you picked and how to reach you. Nothing is charged and no amount is taken here — this page has no way to take one.

  2. The office writes back

    Within the week, with the bank details, the receipt mechanics, and — if you asked to volunteer — the two evenings that need you. If you want the 80G receipt, the office will ask for your PAN then, not here.

  3. See what it bought

    The quarterly sheet lists what came in and what it bought. Come to the room any study evening; the register is on the didi's table and visitors are asked to let the homework win.

Give here if

  • You want your money mapped to a countable thing — a meal, a seat, a kit
  • You would rather read a register than a poster
  • You can give small and monthly; the rent is monthly too

Give elsewhere if

  • You need a naming plaque or a felicitation — the rooms have neither and the children are not a backdrop
  • You want photographs of children thanking you; guardians' consent and dignity come first here
  • You want this page to take your card number now — it will not, by design

Before you give

Questions people ask before giving

Why is there no donate button?

Because a template with a live payment rail nobody has audited is a phishing kit with good typography. This page records your intention; the money moves at the office or by the bank details the trust publishes in the proof section above, against a receipt, into an account the auditor sees. Slower by a day, checkable forever.

How many children have you helped so far?

We publish this term's register — 84 on the rolls — and the quarterly money sheet, and we decline to print a running lifetime figure. Big cumulative numbers on donation pages are almost never auditable, and we would rather show you a register that is.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Only if the trust's 80G registration is current — which is why the top of this page has a cell for the number itself, checkable on the income-tax portal, and not the word '80G' on its own. If that cell is empty, assume no deduction until the office shows you the certificate.

Why does a meal here cost more than the famous ₹1,500-a-year programmes?

Those programmes are magnificent machines: government grain, industrial kitchens, millions of plates. We are two rooms and a stove buying retail. ₹28 a plate is what our stock book actually shows, and we would rather explain the difference than borrow their arithmetic.

Can I just come and see it?

Yes — any study evening, no appointment. The one rule: the homework wins. Visitors sit at the back, phones away, and photographs happen only by the office's arrangement with guardians' consent.

The one thing this page asks

Pledge a way to help

One form, one intention. The office replies within the week with how giving actually works — nothing is charged or collected here.

You want to help with

Nothing yet — pick a way to give above, or say it in the form.

Filled in when you pick a way to give above. You can also just type it.

The office replies here, once. Nobody calls you monthly to ask for more.

Three required fields, because a pledge needs a name, a way to reply, and a channel. There is deliberately NO amount field — the card you picked says what the thing costs, and money is discussed only with the office. No PAN here: it is needed for the 80G receipt at donation time, and a web form is not where a tax ID belongs. And no card or UPI field, ever — this page cannot take money, and says so three times because that is the point.

Your details go to the trust's office for this one reply and are not added to any appeal list. They are never sold, and no fundraiser will cold-call you from this form.
