DEVKRUPA ASHRAM, WAGHODIA
A PROFILE
Devkrupa Ashram is a boarding for tribal boys of bonded labourers and Narmada displaced children. It is involved in the noble task of providing Primary and Secondary education to the less fortunate children of poor labourers and also those displaced by the Narmada Dam Project maintaining a philosophy of helping every child it comes across to pursue education, irrespective of caste and religion. The beneficiaries include those residing in the talukas of Waghodia, Sankheda, Dabhoi, Chhota Udepur, Kawant and Naswadi. It is a 100% tribal school and boarding. The children belong to the Rathwa Tribe.
Devkrupa Ashram provides a safe boarding, schooling and Eco-friendly environment for these children. The Trust strives for the upliftment and empowernment of the poor and marginalized within a secular framework contributing silently but effectively towards shaping a strong nation.
This year (2012-2013) we have 310 boys. We provide them staying facilities, food, personal tuitions, computer education, farm produce, small children's park, playing facilities. Various activities are conducted for the total development of the children.

REQUESTING YOUR SUPPORT
As mentioned above the children in the boarding come from poor tribal families especially from families that are displaced due to Narmada Dam and we do not get any government assistance. I, therefore, humbly appeal to you to help us help these children so that they may experience the fullness of life by building a future on strong foundation.
Your support no matter how small or great will go a long way to mould a child of God. I am sure God will bless you abundantly here and in the life to come for we believe that, "Whatsoever we do to the least of His children , we do it unto Him". The children will remember you and pray for you.
We will be happy if you sponsor a child or donate for this worthy cause. "We make a living by what we earn. We make a life by what we give". Your visit to the Ashram will bring us joy, courage and hope. "Come and See".
God Bless You. Praying for You!
