Your support has helped us continue our work with Adivasi children in these areas, ensuring they receive small but significant nutritional support that helps them learn better, and enables women in the community to keep cooking healthy meals at the Bal Angans.
A few months ago, we reached out to you to support our Education and Nutrition Outreach for Adivasi children in MP. Thanks to your generous and prompt response, from March to May this year, we were able to provide daily nutrition to over 500 children in our Bal Angans.

Heartfelt thanks to @HTCInc, Hyderabad, for donating two laptops to Dhaatri. Your support will strengthen our documentation work with Adivasi women and children on their education, health, and biodiversity knowledge practices.
