Please note that this is an ongoing project with an increasing intake of undergraduates, therefore the above figures will change constantly and with your support we can continue to fund this project from year to year.
Last year £13,720.00 was raised.
The Education Foundation for physically challenged children.
In 1938, a 17-year old son of a poor farmer in Gujarat, India, completed his high school education after overcoming innumerable and sometimes unimaginable, challenges and difficulties. He passed with outstanding grades but was unable to pursue further studies because of his family's poor economic situation - not unlike that of the students at SKSN.
However, he was determined that his children would not face the same fate. His name was Vaghjibhai Ranchodbhai Patel. Three of his sons who have directly benefited from his one and only motto in life, education at any cost, are:
Arun V. Patel, FCA, FCCA Dr. Shirish V. Patel, M.B.B.S., MRCPsych, M.D. Mayoor V. Patel, B.Sc. Hons., MLIA Dip., C.M.S.
They are now the founding trustees of Polio Children and have taken up the mission to spread the spirit of their late father, Vaghjibhai, for the benefit of academically talented but poor and physically disabled children of the world.
