4. SUPPORT FOR PROFESSIONAL STUDIES: Leora Trust continued to provide scholarship to medical student Hemasree who is currently in her fourth year of Ayurvedic medical college.

Mentoring: 

Nutrition:  Mid-day meals were served for a fourth year in a row. Thanks to the partners of Leora Trust, Meera Rao Ram Vasanthram, 500 students are provided free lunch every school day.

Education through sports: One of the challenges of starting and maintaining a sport and development programme is getting the necessary resources, in particular the sports equipment. For some, a game of pick-up basketball after work or a quick run before dinner is simply a fun way to get exercise. But sports is changing lives and providing hope for those who face adversity and challenges in situations we may never experience.

Sports aren’t just good for the body, they may also help communities. According to the United Nations’ Sports for Development and Peace. The initiative found research indicating that sports programs promote social inclusion, have a positive impact on crime prevention, in still leadership skills, and promote awareness of disease prevention. Studies also show that exercise can improve the quality of life and promote rehabilitation and healing for individuals with intellectual and physical challenges.So to bring a positive change and for the overall development of the underprivileged girls we provided  complete football kit to girls at our partner NGO (Mera India Mera Adhikar).
