Educate To Save

Individuals, philanthropists, and CSR partners can sponsor a child's education and create "A child is not a vessel to be filled, but a lamp to be lit."

Educate To Save is the child sponsorship initiative of The Kalgidhar Society, helping provide quality education to children studying in rural schools across India. EducateToSave is the child-sponsorship initiative of The Kalgidhar Society, Baru Sahib. We give underprivileged children in rural North India access to quality, value-based education across 130
Akal Academies — schools that turn first-generation learners into doctors, engineers, teachers, and
changemakers. For just ₹88 a day — less than your morning chai or coffee — you can sponsor a child's
entire year of schooling.
95% of your contribution reaches the child directly. When you educate one child, you uplift a whole family, and eventually, a village. 🌾

Her siblings studied in Hindi medium, in a government school.

Sarla is the first in her family to sit in a CBSE English medium classroom.

Her father works in the fields. She wants to build machines.

At Akal Academy Kajri, under the Educate To Save initiative, that dream stopped being out of reach. Watch Sarla share it in her own words — the story of what one classroom, one language, one chance can change for a farmer's daughter.

This is what Educate To Save was built for. For the cost of a coffee a day, a child like Sarla gets the education that changes everything.

For some children, education continues because someone chose to support their dreams.

Gurpreet Kaur has been studying at our Academy since 2022, with the support of a donor from the USA.

Today, she continues to learn, grow and build her future.

But Gurpreet is just one story.

Thousands of students are still waiting for the same opportunity.

Your support can help a child stay in school and continue their journey towards a better future.

A man flew from Leicester to Punjab to meet a child he'd never actually seen.

Manjeet Singh Virdee had been paying her school fees for years. Her grades, her handwriting on the greeting cards she sent, her name — Komalpreet Kaur, Class 7 — he knew all of it. He just didn't know her.

Back in 2008, he'd watched students from Baru Sahib perform at the 300th Gurta Gaddi celebrations in Hazur Sahib. In 2019, in Birmingham, he heard Baba Iqbal Singh Ji say something he never forgot:

"You may not be able to change the world, but you can change the world of one child."

He acted on it — and began sponsoring Komalpreet's education through Educate to Save. This year, he finally travelled to Akal Academy Dadehar Sahib to meet her.

Sponsoring from a distance and standing in front of the child are two different things. The report cards stopped being paperwork. They became a person.

That's usually where the story ends. This one didn't.

He went home and told people what he'd seen. His family sponsored more children. His brother's family took on two. His Gurdwara in Leicester committed to supporting 12 students, ongoing.

One man met one child. A community ended up funding a dozen futures.

💛 Sometimes changing one child's world is where the bigger change begins.

She started Nursery not knowing her father wouldn't be there to see any of it.

Tanbeer Kaur lost him early. What she had left was her mother — raising her alone, holding a household together on her own, with no one else to lean on.

Somewhere in that struggle, a decision was made: Tanbeer would still go to school.

She was enrolled at Akal Academy Khamanon Khurd, supported through the Educate to Save initiative — a small door that stayed open when so many others could have closed.

She walked through it. Quietly, steadily, year after year.

By Class 5, she scored 88%.

Today, she's in Grade 6 — still learning, still going, still becoming someone her mother can point to and say, this is what we built.

Some journeys are best seen, not told.

Tag someone whose determination inspires you.

One salary. Four children. No land, no second income.

That's the arithmetic behind Gursewak's morning — a truck driver's son, four years old, three sisters, and a family stretching every rupee to keep school in the picture.

He doesn't know that arithmetic. He knows his classroom, his teachers, the friend who sits next to him. He's just started Nursery at Akal Academy Sacha Sauda, and all he knows is that tomorrow, he goes back.

What he doesn't know is what it costs his family to make sure of that.

For most of us, a school fee is a line item. For his, it's a decision made every single year against everything else they can't afford to lose.

At four, his only job should be to learn, play, and show up for a classroom waiting for him — not carry the weight of how it's paid for.

A sponsorship, the cost of a coffee a day, is enough to keep that seat his.

He has never met them. But he chose to believe in their future.

Tejinder Singh, an IT professional from Mumbai, sponsors two children through Educate to Save by The Kalgidhar Society, Baru Sahib.

Gurkirat Singh, Class 1 — son of a Granthi Singh serving at a village gurdwara, growing up without land or a regular family income.

Sandeep Kaur, Class 12 — a farmer’s daughter, preparing to step into the world, with her younger brother also studying at an Akal Academy.

Two children.
Two very different journeys.
One sponsor who has never met either of them.

His belief is simple:

“Education is a fundamental need, right after food and shelter. It’s what lets a child stand on their own feet.”

And when asked what he would tell someone still thinking about sponsoring a child:

“Knowing about it and not becoming part of it will be a self-loss.”

Every year, a report card or greeting card gives him a glimpse into the lives he is helping shape.

He says:

“Wish we could do more.”

Maybe that’s the most beautiful part of giving.

You don’t need to know a child’s name to care about their future.

You just need to say yes.

Because somewhere, a child is still waiting for someone to light the next few steps.

For the cost of a coffee a day, that person could be you.

Sometimes, changing a child’s future begins with one person saying, “I’ll help.”

Navjot Kaur’s family has faced years of financial hardship. Her father has been bedridden for 7–8 years, while her homemaker mother struggles to support the family.

Yet Navjot continues her education at Akal Academy Uddat Saidewala.

Her journey changed when a donor chose to sponsor her education.

For him, it may be a sponsorship.
For Navjot, it is a chance at a different future.

There are many more children waiting for someone to step forward.

Be that person. Sponsor a child. Change a future.

She Lost Everyone. Except One.

Shavnya was still a baby in 2021 when she lost her father. She was too young to even remember his face.

Then her mother left too, choosing another life and leaving her children behind.

And then came another loss. Her grandparents passed away, one by one.

The people who should have stood between this little girl and the hardships of the world were disappearing.

But one person stayed.

Her aunt.

A woman who had already lost her own husband ten years ago, she knew what it meant to stand alone. Yet when her brother’s children needed her, she opened her home to them.

Today, she cleans houses, cooks for other families, and takes whatever work she can find.

Not because it is easy.

Because two children are depending on her.

Shavnya is now studying in UKG at Akal Academy, Rampur Sunra. Her brother, Aviraj, is in Class 2 at the same school.

For them, school is more than a classroom.

It is a chance to have the childhood they deserve. A chance to dream beyond the circumstances they were born into.

But an aunt’s wages can help put food on the table.

They cannot always secure a child’s education and future.

That is where someone else can make a difference.

Shavnya does not need our sympathy.

She needs a sponsor.

Sometimes, changing a child’s life does not require something extraordinary.

It begins with one person making one decision.

Will you be that person?

A Software Engineer at 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗣𝘃𝘁. 𝗟𝘁𝗱. 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗵𝗶 is quietly sponsoring the education of 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝘁.

And he has been doing so for longer than he can remember.

His name is 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗵.

For as long as he can remember, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗞𝗮𝗹𝗴𝗶𝗱𝗵𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆, 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝘂 𝗦𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗯 has been part of the conversations around him.

Today, that familiar name has become a 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

A graduate of 𝗚𝘂𝗿𝘂 𝗧𝗲𝗴𝗵 𝗕𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆, Harpreet credits education with helping shape the life he has today.

For him, sponsoring a child is a way of 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆.

Through 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲, he supports:

𝗢𝗻𝗸𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗵 — Grade 4, Akal Academy Cheema Sahib
𝗚𝘂𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗞𝗮𝘂𝗿 — Grade 10, Akal Academy Dhanal Kalan

Both are children of 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 — Sikh scripture readers who serve at gurudwaras and lead prayer.

What inspires Harpreet most is how 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀.

He points to the 𝗔𝗜𝗥𝗪𝗘 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲, where girls from underserved communities are supported from graduation through PhD at Eternal University — and later return to teach at 𝗔𝗸𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝘆 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 near their home villages.
