SOME OF OUR MAJOR PATRONS/DONORS :

Concern India Foundation : An NGO came to the aid of Sai Shiksha Sansthan, in 1995, when Saikripa was under pressure to discontinue the school due to financial crunch. However, the entry of CIF changed the whole scenario. The support received from CIF made it possible to bring down the school fee from Rs.70/- to Rs.35/- per child per month. This encouraged lots of parents to send their daughters to school who would otherwise have remained illiterate as educating a girl child was considered a waste of money, since eventually they have to get married and move out of their homes. In a village where women were never seen without 'ghunghat' {Veil}, the girls who have passed out from Sai Shiksha Sansthan have started attending colleges in Noida and Greater Noida. CIF's unstinted support, for more than a decade now has strengthened and enabled Sai Shiksha Sansthan to expand steadily. In fact CIF has become an integral part of Sai Shiksha Sansthan.

ASHA :
A society in Arizona, U.S.A., has been supporting us by providing financial assistance for the laboratory equipment, study tours, books etc. thereby encouraging SAIKRIPA's educational pursuits.

Give Foundation
They have been supporting us since 2001, for various purposes like medicine, Sponsorship for children, corpus fund, general fund etc. The GIVE Foundation certified Saikripa to be one of the Indian NGOs complying with the minimum desirable norms of the Credibility Alliance - demonstrating very high commitment towards transparency and accountability. Credibility Alliance has admitted Saikripa to the membership for this reason. This certification is an assurance that donations made to Saikripa will be utilised well and that donors will get to know how their contributions have made a difference.

Cadence Designs Systems ( I ) Ltd. :
They have been extending their support since 2001 by sending volunteers for teaching electronics and mathematics at school, giving donations etc. Their recent donation of Rs.30 lacs enabled us to acquire the two units of LIG houses, which were in dilapidated condition at Z-133 & 134, Sec-12, Noida, from Noida Authority and rebuild the same to accommodate our children in a bigger building and also to make part payment for acquiring four other LIG units. Thus Cadence Designs Systems have become part of SAIKRIPA's family and continue to support us in our endeavours.

U.N. Women's Guild (Queen's Group)
They have been extending their support since the last many years by providing financial assistance.

Fidelity Investments (I ) Pvt. Ltd, Fidelity Technology India
FIL & FTI staff started supporting SAI KRIPA in 2003 by giving generous gifts of toys, clothes and books and also by providing tuitions on different subjects and teaching quilt making for senior students. They have raised money for Black boards, exam fees, stationery for the children of Sai Bal Sansar and provided monetary support for teachers' training workshops. They also generated funds by organising auction of paintings done by the children of BAL KUTIR.

American Express
They have been supporting us since 1997. They assisted us in procuring our school bus, computers, Inverters, livestock etc.

Chirag Foundation, USA.
This year they have made a donation of around Rs.12.5 lacs for acquiring the four units of LIG houses at Z-149 to Z-152, Sector-12, Noida. Arrangements by Chirag Foundation are on way to generate funds to complete the further balance payment to Noida Authority and for reconstructing the same.

But above all SAIKRIPA is grateful to the numerous people who have been the backbone to it ever since it started. We have survived only because they have stood by us like pillars of strength and still continue to do so in their own special way, just like little drops of water make the mighty ocean.
