CARE India is a leading developmental organisation in India with an extensive global network. Through their pro-poor programmes, they have impacted on extreme poverty and social injustice in India by working with poor women and girls from the most disadvantaged communities. By placing a special emphasis on working with poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE’s community-based efforts to improve basic education, boost maternal and child health, prevent the spread of HIV & Tuberculosis (TB) and expand economic opportunity. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of natural disasters, and helps people rebuild their lives.

dear ccs,
can you explain how you select the places and schools to support? are they already charted along your route or will you pick as you go along? thanks
@Kapu,
Thank you for stopping by this site.
We do not choose any of the schools or education centers as such. What we are doing by this adventure is raising awareness of the charity we are supporting which funds education of girls in various indian cities/towns with a two-pronged approach; within the formal schooling system and through a number of alternative schooling programmes. The Charity – Care India – has also started a residential (boarding) primary school – Udaan, providing education to 9-14 yr age group. (ref:http://www.careindia.org/education-0 )
You will also get a good idea of the impact of the funds raised in terms of the number of girls that can be provided education at: http://www.careindia.org/give
I hope this answers your question. Thank you for your support and encouragement. Please share with your friends and family to help us achieve our goal.
