Deepam needs funds to run its centres and expand to new projects. Currently, we are supported by individual donors.

Our needs are specifically

1. Infrastructure to teach computers: Power Supply, Laptops/PCs, Internet access at centres
2. Curriculum Material: Reading and writing material, Books and dictionaries for the children

Computer education is a crucial pillar of our curriculum, giving the “keys” of the greatest source of information out there – the internet. The centres that we teach in do not have the infrastructure required to bring computer access to children. Deepam works to set up power supply, PC & laptop access and internet access in the classroom. We aim to achieve an access ratio of three children to one computer. Given that we have close to 120 students in Deepam and very few computers/laptops, we are always on the look out for machines.

At present, some of the centres do not support facilities to permanently house PCs. Laptops are preferred because the volunteers can carry them to the centres for the class.
