nCov orphans can hope for better edu

Vadodara: The United Way of Baroda will sponsor education of children from financially weaker families if they lost one parent due to Covid-19 after March last year.
The NGO said it took up the project because even if the children had a single parent, the survivor was not able to take care of the family financially and psychologically. So far, aid for 253 students has been approved under its project christened ‘Mission Shiksha’.
The project has been taken up in Vadodara, Anand, Panchmahal, Bharuch, Narmada and Chhota Udepur. The organization had received 437 applications and 336 were found eligible. For 253 students letters of confirmation of fees from the organisation have been sent and school fees was also processed. Remaining applications are in process. tnn
