Sradhanjali Charitable Trust is a registered Charitable Trust. It is also registered under Income Tax Act 1961 and permitted to receive Donations from Outsiders u/s12(AA) & 80(G) of Income Tax Act.

We started our Organisation in the year 2004 & with retrospective effect we got ourselves registered u/s12AA & 80G under Income Tax Act. Though our Trust got itself registered from various legal point of view but till now we are unable to procure any foreign funding for which we are able to accomplish our Objectives partially. We are able to accomplish our objectives only through Support of Benevolent Persons.  

We are actually having a dream of keeping all the children  those who have no access to education nor have any funds to join any educational institution of Orissa.

This year we are able to do this noble project by educating around 30street children through Informal education. Due to lack of funds we could not construct shelter house for these children but we think by next year we will certainly built up a shelter house for all the Orissa Street Children (Khurda District) by providing them free food, clothing, shelter & Education so that they can stand up on their own legs. Once they grow up it wont be a difficult task for them to lead a life.

As Article 28 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the child says that children have a right to an education. Discipline in Schools should respect children human dignity. Primary education should be free. Wealthy Countries should help poorer Countries to achieve this. But circumstances in Orissa are little different. Below the age group of 15years are the worst suffers in Orissa.

Recently we started a Project with Hounslow Heath Junior School, UK. The Project aim is to make all the street children at least literate after due consideration of their food, clothing & Shelter. The Partnership with our foreign associate is reflected in the website named:-www.hounslow-heath-jun.hounslow.sch.uk. To find more details of the school link project go to the children and click on School Council.

The students of this UK School has written many things by stating about themselves, self introduction, their likings and disliking etc. & in turn Our Street Children & other children (all below 15years)also started communicating with them through surface mail. The Partnership is designed in such a way that each of our student will get an opportunity for communicating with their foreign friends. Through exchange of information we think that each student will gain more knowledge about each others countries tradition, culture & religion etc. This time our students made drawings while communicating with our foreign students. There is also a letter of appreciation from our foreign Partners. We think by next year we will make our students more literate  so that Communication between these groups can be easier and faster.

We are also planning to connect computers with Internet so that atleast 4childrens can use these systems and chart with our foreign associates. We are always thinking that every children should get an opportunity of education to prove their inner quality. Once we come to know the potential of a student then it is very easy to know their expertise. These expertise can be utilised at a later stage. That is the reason we started partnering with a foreign School.

Out of Donated Amount for Rs.20000/-by our Chiarman to Nakshatramalini High School, Chatisdebil, Dist-Jajpur the said School created a memorial fund.

Out of Memorial Fund, the School selected the folowing students:
