These children, despite having dreams and potential, are often denied the basic right to education. Education, which should be the foundation of their future, becomes an unreachable goal due to financial constraints, lack of resources, and the absence of support systems. Recognizing this critical need, we have launched a revolutionary initiative: a Free School System for the Poorest Children in Village Areas.
