I’m Snigdha Totakura. Both my parents died in an accident. Now I live with my grandparents who are aging. They depend on 2000 rupees of government pension and are helpless. I am from a Dalit community and no one supports my education and basic needs. The FFEI board responded positively to my request for college fees. Besides sending my college fees, they also sent money for my basic needs like a bicycle, uniform, bag, etc. The FFEI board also promised to support my education for the rest of my life.
It’s a pleasure to receive a donation from FFEI. Thank you very much dear FFEI Board.

Inter Second Year – Government High School, Kaikaluru, Krishna District, AP.
I’m Vijay Kumar Vangalapudi Parents Monitoring Committee chairman at SNN Government highschool, Kaikaluru. It has 710 students from 6th to 10th grade. The majority of the students come from BPL (Below Poverty Line). My goal as a school chairman is to introduce extracurricular activities to students in addition to the Govt provided curriculum such as Karate, Dance, Spoken English, Computer Science, and Personality Development classes. These extracurricular activities are only offered at private schools for which parents must pay huge fees.
To make this possible, I have appointed a karate teacher, and approximately 200 students out of 710 enrolled in these classes. For this to be possible, I need financial assistance, which the government cannot provide. I have approached Friends for Education for help to pay Karate Master’s monthly remuneration and Karate uniforms for students. FFEI Board members responded positively and sent 30,000/- rupees towards Karate Masters’ remuneration and children’s uniforms.
These classes started in December of 2021 and are progressing day by day. Parents, students, and villagers have all expressed happiness about these classes.
Through Friends for Education International, we were able to start ground-breaking and innovative steps to empower children. We thank you FFEI for helping this worthy cause.
Yours Truly,
Vijay Kumar V

After Indian constitutional specific service based on JJ Act. We have joined various categories of helpless people into their respective care homes except for eligible orphans. For a long time orphanage was struggling to get continued help on account of being a remote location. The FFEI was very kind in times of global pandemic came forward to support the orphanage every month in the sum of twenty thousand Indian rupees. We from the orphanage glade and are thankful to FFEI members for the continuous support of the great cause.
I come from a poor background.I lost my father three days before my intermediate examination.After completing my intermediate my mother was not able to join me in any course because of financial problem.My dream is to become a doctor.Nearly after 3 years I got selected under government scheme named “Ambedkar overseas vidyanidhi” in India and joined medicine in Philippines.Some of our district officers also help me in this.But my scholarship is not enough to complete my course.I was in need of financial help.Then I started requesting help from many people.
Then one of the officer in India said about FFEI and suggested me to try asking help and gave number of Mr.Benjamin kaila.I contacted Mr.Benjamin kaila and explained my situation.I was in a doubt whether I would get help or not.But Mr.Benjamin responded in a positive way.I got financial support from FFEI and they paied my college fee for a year and Mr.Benjamin also said he would try to help me more if possible.Apart from getting financial help,Mr.Benjamin always encouraged me to study well.He used to say I’m like your friend you can share if you have any problems.I would always be thankful to Mr.Benjamin and all the members of FFEI.I will study hard and be a good doctor and make everyone proud one day.
I’m Jebesh John, I was raised and brought up by my mom and she’s a single parent. I remember my mother struggling to give me the best education she could afford and provide me a better stable future. She always supported me in pursuing my desires. With her help and my strong commitment and determination I passed my entrance exams successful ly and qualified for the next step that is medical college. However due financial matters I lost my opportunity to get into a medical college in India due to which I had to take admission abroad in Russian federation in a good renowned medical college approved by the WHO(World Health Organization). She struggled to pay my fee and my financial aids for the first three years. Just when things were in the worst possible situation due to the covid outbreak and my financial conditions through the FFEI support, I managed to continue my fourth year here. Thanks to Mr. Suresh Kumar for helping us out by giving the details of Sir Ganga who has always given his best to help us out of this financial problem. I’m continuing to pursue an academic career which I always desired. The organisation assisted my by paying my fourth year academic debt and also assured me of paying the following two years left in this course. I’m really grateful and words cannot describe how much big of a help this is for me and my family. I am really grateful and glad of the work and hardwork the people behind this organisation put to help financially struggling students. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart to FEEI and certainly God will pay everyone back all for our good deeds. I would want to finish my education and help many more families who are struggling with the help of FFEI.
we come to know about FFEI through people in other high positions. We applied to FFEI and met them and after that, they come to visit our field area and got impressed by the service rendered by Banjara Seva Samithi, and then FFEI helped us. It is a wonderful experience and a new experience working with FFEI as we have learned a lot of new things and new experiences which will be very helpful for the children of Home For Children at risk and running a high school. To provide best of facilities for overall grooming of children for their best output in education and their mental and physical development and to see them in their best future
BSS has provided intervention and support to vulnerable children belonging to poor Banjara families with no parental care or support, and children who are currently under kinship care, but unable to meet their educational and growth needs. Such children have been admitted in the BSS CAR/HCR home to keep them under proper and comprehensive care, for them to grow with a proper care of entitled growth and nurturing aspects of children to enable them to experience a proper childhood.
We have been conducting free classes for various competitive examinations with the helping handa of professors, lecturers, teachers and skilled persons with different trades.for 10 years. We noticed the importance of the library during theses classes. The students are faced many problems due lack of proper shelter for reading. So we planned to establish llibrary . In meanwhile our friend Sri M.Babu Rao garu informed me about your Organisation and gave me phone No of Benzamen sir. I called him over a phone. He explained him about our organisation. He heard me patiently and asked me about my immediate need. He told me to fill a Google form. As soon as I filled a Google form FFEI deposited me 50000/ . I felt very happy for your immediate response. Thank you each and every member of FFIE. I am a teacher. I live in Thagarapuvalasa in Visakhapatnam Andhra Pradesh India 531162. To start establishing a library with the deposited amount. The people in FFEI are very generous and smooth.

My name is Prema Manvi Sirra and I am 22 years old. I am from the Scheduled Caste Community. I am from Tanuku, which is a small town in the West Godavari District of Andhra Pradesh. My father has a small business of lace and wool works which is supporting our livelihood. My mother is a housewife and I have one younger sister doing bachelors.
I completed my under graduation at the West Godavari Institute of Science and Engineering College at Nallajerla with Computer Science as my major. My father brought up us and always aimed of providing the best education. During my studies, I have scored 95% in SSC, 89% in Intermediate, and passed with distinction in Bachelors with an aggregate of 71%. I am very passionate to get a Degree in the USA and settle well in my life and help my family and needy people. To achieve this I worked hard and got admission to the University of North Texas Denton, Texas.
After coming to the United States, I really suffered a lot to pay my tuition fee. We tried all the sources of Scholarships and getting a loan from a bank, but nothing helped. All I did was just trust in good and started looking for some financial help and that is when I have got to know about Mr. Benjamin through one of my family friends. I have mailed to FFEI my resume and all the documents. I have got an immediate reply from Mr. Benjamin. Later in a few days, the board agreed to pay my tuition fees. They assured me about everything, thereby filling the confidence in me.
Finally, I am going to graduate successfully this December with all the support from FFEI and I am living in Denton now. I am looking forward to being part of FFEI and helping the students who are unable to pay Tuition fees.
I am a Dalit rights activist and in the movement for past three decades. I came to know about FFEI through social media and through my friends in the movement. I am part of several Dalit rights organizations and networks and I have founded an NGO named WAYVE Foundation in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. FFEI has been very supportive. They have supported our initiatives like helping Dalit students to pay for their college fees, providing ration kits to single women headed families from manual scavenging community in Uttar Pradesh, to help a Dalit family to build a roof of their house which was affected due to recent cyclone Tauktae. Our future plans are to set up libraries for the Dalit youth, to provide educational support to young Dalit women, etc. Our experience with FEEI has been great and they are very sensitive to our work
It was so inspiring and motivating to know that Dr. Gurbux Singh Bagha member, Friends For Education International recognized my services to educate Rural village schools in Mansa District Punjab . He felt that I can do still better job, if I was provided with the projector. This little electronic gadget has been so incredible, that it brought entire basic to advanced education materials on my screen by using YouTube.
Being a school teacher, it has been extremely valuable educational tool to educate my school children from kindergarten to upward.
Children are very excited to watch and learn, showed better interest and enhancing their performance.
This also works as teacher, we can show different videos through YouTube on cartoons, English, Math, etc through our Android phone. We even don’t need Laptop, which is very expensive and also can’t afford.
I am very proud of FFEI, who are doing such a incredible job, to uplift education in India and also providing financial help to most marginalized students in educating them and peruse their dreams.
I know getting donations are very hard, but with their help in India, lot of lives will be changed for better, through education.
In last I thank so much for this donation and I will do my part to educate students.
I love FEFI.
I belongs to sc community.iam from very poor background family. I came to know about FFEI through Facebook and one of the brother from fb friend suggested me to me to refer ffei. Present iam pursuing my graduation at delhi university and iam living in delhi for my higher education. I felt very happy .
I am Rajashekar, I come from a family where education is far beyond what we think. I remember my parents struggling to get the daily bread. Nevertheless, they always supported me in pursuing my desire to transcend in my academic career. With strong commitment and aspiration today, I happen to be a Ph.D. student at one of the eminent institutes in India. However, I have had uncertainties particularly in financial matters because of which I lost transcendent opportunities, but this time, through the FEEI support, I am pursuing an academic career, which I conceived of in my childhood. I learned about the organization from my well-wisher, Mrs. Vinayakala Garu. Her vision to support aspiring students encouraged me to approach FEEI. The organization assisted me in financial support by providing a laptop which is essential in my academics. and I personally thank Mr. Benjimen Garu for his immense support throughout. The organization had shaped determinations within me and kept a strong support system, extending the scope to build on my career. With these motivations, I now provide hope to my community, for whom education is still far beyond even in the 21st century. I endeavor to see myself as a professor and extend support to students who are needy aspiring for their dreams to come true.
I requested for help because I was not able to pay my college fees. After receiving the money I paid the fees because of which I am able to continue my studies. The fund was very useful for paying my fees because I was in a state in which I didn’t know if I would be able to continue my studies or not. I am very thankful to the organisation for helping me.
I had studied Political Science from University of delhi till Graduation.
After that I wanted to study law. But due to financial problems, I had to work as a laborer and I was not able to continue my further studies even if I wanted to.
Then my friend Mr. Jeevan Kumar Malla ji told me about FFEI and he is advised to contact Mr. Ganga sir.
After that, I sent my records to Mr. Ganga sir through email and appealed for financial support for studying law.
Thereafter formal investigation I got financial support from FFEI to start my studies.
I understand that it is very important for a person to acquire legal knowledge in a constitutional country.
After completing law studies as a social worker I want to do legal help to people and it will also ensure a job for us.
Last year due to corona epidemic, proper studies were not done, yet I have passed LLB first year examination by self-study and entered in second year.
This was possible because the FFEI organization has provided financial support by guiding me from time to time.
During this, the behavior and cooperation of the people associated with the organization, especially Shri Ganga Sir was commendable. He always took care that we should not face any financial problem during our studies.
I am grateful to the FFEI institution for this valuable support and after completing my studies, I will also try to do some help for the needy students.
Thanks FFEI.

I got to know about FFEI through Facebook I.D of Gurbax Singh Bagha Sir and go to know that the organization provides help to government schools. I got in touch with them and requested for a projector. They agreed and sent a good quality portable projector that serves our purpose. Using this projector, all our classrooms have become smart classrooms as we move the projector to the class which needs it.
I came to know about FFEI from my mentor Prashant Tambe. FFEI is a great organization who understands financial problems of socially marginalised students. I am preparing for NEET exam and I am living in my hometown.
FFEI helped me for my NEET coaching by giving me a loan of Rs 25000. My future plan is to become doctor and serve people. I will also support FFEI. My experience of dealing with FFEI was very nice.Name.Anjali Ajay Sukte.

We FFEI with the help of Gurbakhsh Singh Baggage . FFEI arrange a Projector for our institution. The projector is helpful for teaching and learning in ur institution. We really thankful for this
FFEI team has been very supportive, encouraging, and committed to support causes for downtrodden communities. The team was responsive throughout the process of supporting our channel.
1. I am the first generation to go to school in my family in Nepal. I am from poor Dalit family. I am a Hindu Dalit. I came to the United States as undocumented, fleeing caste and political persecution in Nepal. However, when I arrived I was very disappointed to learn that the same caste discrimination that I tried to escape is very present and alive in the United States.
2. I decided to go to the CSU East Bay for my MSW study. It was not easy for me to manage my home expenses. I have the family responsibility. I have to pay my rent, utilities, school fees, and complete my study. I thought to make research on Nepali Dalits’ caste discrimination experience in the Nepali diaspora living in the San Francisco Bay area. I was looking for the research fund. I tried to find research fund at my department, but it was not available. I heard about FFEI from the Director of Equality Lab Director Thenmozhi S. She connected me with Benjamin Kaila and the FFEI team who are very supportive and positive to me and my research project. They provided me $5000 as the research grant and $5000 as the study loan with zero interest. I am able to complete my research project by the support of FFEI.
3. For educational and financial growth, our Dalit, Adibashi and Bahujan communities are desperately in need of more and more scholarships and research grants. I think FFEI is the potential organization for empowering marginalized Dalit students.
4. I strongly believe the service of FFEI for the marginalized Dalit students and communities. Everyone should support FFEI and FFEI vision of empowering Dalit youths.
