In India, there are over 260 million children. Almost 100 million of them don’t get any form of education and therefore have no possibilities to get further in live even though these kids deserve the same options as we have.

Round Table India funded Freedom Through Education (FTE) in 1998 and is building schools in India to educate this disadvantaged kids. Their goal is to exterminate illiteracy in India.

“Education is the most powerful weapon to change the world” (Nelson Mandela)
