THE STORY
A community built the walls.
Now they need help with the roof.
In the ancient city of Bundi — a jewel of Rajasthan tucked among forested hills — the Bajranglok Education Foundation has been quietly doing something extraordinary. Brick by brick, with local labour and community donations, they raised the walls of a proper school building.
Then the money ran out.
“The children come every morning. They sit in the bamboo shack and they learn. But when it rains, we stop. When it is 45 degrees in summer, we stop. We need a roof.”
Today, those 47 children — aged 6 to 14 — continue their lessons in a temporary bamboo structure beside the half-finished school. It offers little shelter from Rajasthan’s brutal summer heat, and almost none from the monsoon rains that arrive each year.
The walls are already built. The foundation is solid. All that remains is a permanent roof — and one generous community of donors to make it happen.
WHAT $8,000 AUD DELIVERS
This is a small ask … with a big return.
Structural roofing materials
Steel beams and corrugated sheeting suited to Rajasthan’s climate — built to last decades, not seasons.
Skilled local labour
Professional installation employing local tradespeople — keeping money in the Bundi community.
Monsoon-proof shelter
Year-round learning, uninterrupted by the heavy rains that currently cancel school for weeks.
Heat protection
A proper insulated roof drops interior temperature significantly compared to the current bamboo shack.

ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
Who is Bajranglok Education Foundation?
Founded by members of the Bundi community, the Bajranglok Education Foundation exists to ensure that children from low-income families in and around Bundi receive a quality education — free of charge. The Foundation is run almost entirely by volunteers, with funds going directly to educational programmes and infrastructure.
Bundi is one of Rajasthan’s most historic cities, known for its step-wells and palace frescoes — but many of its families live in poverty, and access to private schooling is out of reach. The Foundation bridges that gap.
This roof campaign represents the final stage of a building project the community began themselves. Your donation completes a chapter they started. Help them finish the story.
