Going to school instead of breaking stones

Everyday life in the stone quarries of Yeleswaram in the South Indian state of Andhra Pradesh has been distressing for a long time: even small children were breaking stones - year in, year out. In doing so, they contributed to their parents’ income, who themselves were hopelessly exploited quarry workers.

Thanks to many individual donations and the support of wortundtat, it has been possible to set up a school for these so-called quarry children. It is there where they learn today in order to be able to provide for themselves later in life.

By donating a monthly amount of only 18 Euro you can secure a place in this school. We will be happy to provide you with further information as to how you can help with a class sponsorship.
