About the Good Samaritan School
The Good Samaritan School has a $3.5 million debt-free facility that has been provided with the help of U.S. partners for the poor of India. There are not enough schools for the over 360 million children in India. Public schools may charge fees that many slum children cannot afford, or avoid admitting them due to challenges associated with poverty. The Good Samaritan School is purposed to serve the poor children of Delhi’s slums and comprehensively care for their many needs. They are given a chance to go to school at a first-rate facility where they have extensive educational and medical resources and a safe learning environment. An educated child has a better chance of obtaining a job paying a livable wage, especially if that child has learned English. The schools teach with an English medium, giving an extra advantage to the students. The school provides children with a springboard into the working world, as well as supplemental nutrition and medical care.
Feeder Center
In addition to the main campus, The Good Samaritans operate two feeder centers near the slum communities. These centers are for younger children; one center educates through 8th and the other through the 5th grade. Their proximity to the slum helps children and parents grow in relationship with the teachers and staff. When a child graduates from their center, they commute to the nearby larger facility to continue their education through the 12th grade. There are more than 1,000 students at both centers.
Visit the School
FOTGS encourages groups and individuals to travel to India and engage with the children on a personal level. Visitors participate in a variety of activities with the children, including arts and crafts, sports, music, drama, and other projects at the school. Trips also include visits to the slum communities, allowing visitors to meet children and connect with their families in their homes. FOTGS assists with all arrangements, including boarding in a flat near the school. The trip is very affordable. If you or your group are interested in a trip to India, please contact us for more information.
