School children
The need to act
The rural areas of the semi-desert region of Rajasthan in India have a very weak infrastructure and a high unemployment rate. Many parents cannot afford the costs of sending their children to school. The state schools in the region are overfilled and have far too few teachers. The schools thus cannot provide basic education for their pupils.
Out of feelings of appreciation for our own privileges and of responsibility for other people, the Association for Development and Promotion of Educational and Research Projects in India e.V. was founded.

Who we are
he Association for Development and Promotion of Educational and Research Projects in India e.V. was founded in Kiel, Germany to promote and support projects in the rural areas of the semi-desert region of Rajasthan in India aimed at
- Provision of basic education in local schools
- Funding education (tuition costs, dress, books, etc.) for talented children of poor families
- Investing funds in building infrastructure for educational needs (schools, libraries, computer centres, etc.)
At the same time this will positively influence the social and economic development of the region.
- Education Creates Competence
- Education Promotes Global Integration
- Education Opens Gates for New Markets
How we act
All the coordinative, organizational and work of the Association is done by an international network of volunteer workers exclusively who contribute their knowledge and skills in their spare time out of feelings of appreciation for our own privileges and of responsibility for other people’s needs.
Financial funds raised in the West get forwarded to our local representatives in Jadan, Rajastan, and are used in such a way, that the most needed and talented local children get the full benefit of the financial funds raised by the Association.
