UPMA Day Care

Our Mission

Our goal is to support education of poor and underprivileged kids in India. We want to give opportunity to every kid who is left behind due to socio-economic cause. We want kids from these families to live and enjoy their childhood along with a better education helping them grow in their careers.

Our aim is to give these kids the basic education and a happy childhood.

Goals OF UPMA

1. Uttar Pradesh Mandal of America ( UPMA) Working WithUP Govt. to Support and Enhance Anganwadi Across Uttar Pradesh.

Anganwadi is a rural child care center in India. These Anganwadi provide non-formal preschool education, basic food, and health education. There are close to 106,128 Anganwadi centers in UP.
UPMA's Goal is to work with Anganwadi and further enhance services like providing nutritious food, improved pre-education, school bags, shoes, sweaters, and much more for children. With the help of Anganwadi, UPMA will also connect with poor villagers/parents, where we can support families with multiple initiatives. For example, recently, UPMA donated thousands of kambals to all families of UPMA's daycare and UPMA students. UPMA is currently running ten daycare centers and funding the education of the underprivileged back in India.
During COVID, UPMA provided financial aid/food/oxygen concentrators/oxi meters, and much more and spent thousands of dollars. Anganwadi will allow us to reach and serve needy people.
We all know the next innovation is from Villages in India; besides uplifting Aaganwadi, UPMA aims to digitize Aaganwadi and put laptops/computers. But, the sky is a limit to what we can do for underprivileged young children; UPMA is committed to changing the lives of underprivileged people in India.

Goals OF UPMA

2.Women's Empowerment and Economic Development of UP

Anganwadi also opens up a door where, via UPMA we can work on the economic development of low-income families, women empowerment, and projects to connect the underprivileged to the external world.
Last year, a group of 10 officials from Smart Village Movement visited UP; besides meeting with Gov. Anandi ben Patel, we also met with secretaries and ministers. The smart village movement provides four verticals - Education, Healthcare, Household, and Agriculture. The smart village movement involves companies from US and India. This is already running successfully in the Meghalaya state; we are working to bring it to UP.
With Anganwadi, UPMA will have access to underprivileged families. We can work to replicate models where villagers, especially women at home, build products that are sold in the US and worldwide.
We like to promote companies in the US to invest in UP. UPMA can help with Govt. resources and connections and leverage the existing UP Govt program.

About UPMA

UPMA currently provides elementary and secondary school education to 103 children aged 7-12 years at Saidham in Bundelkhand and has set up ten daycare centers for 400 children aged 3-6 years in tribal villages around Chitrakoot. The team expects to double these numbers in 2021.

For just under $2800, UPMA is able to set up and run a daycare center for 35+ children in a village. Most of the tribal living in these villages are extremely poor and since both parents work as farm labor, their younger children aged 3-6 have to be looked after by their older siblings 7-12, leaving both children deprived of any kind of formal schooling. Our goal in setting up the day care centers is to allow the older siblings to attend formal school in the village, while taking care of the pre-schooling needs of the younger ones.

For a mere $100 we are able to support their pre-school needs for year including material needs such as school bags, books, notebooks, writing material, even a uniform and shoes etc. The reason we are able to do that is because UPMA has virtually no overhead or administrative costs, almost every penny goes to the cause of the children’s education. We might not be affected, but we certainly can make a difference. We need your help to achieve this goal to make a lasting difference and it’s simple.
