What Is The NAS Foundation?
The
NAS Foundation is a family set up
non-profit organization that has been
serving underprivileged school children on
the outskirts of Delhi.
We
have one purpose, our goal as an
organization is to facilitate and promote
education & we hope that by doing this we
get children excited about education and
learning.

Statistics
Statistics show
that India's
literacy rate is
much lower
than the actual
world average.
According to
research done
in 2012 only
two thirds of
Indians over the
age of 7 years
can read and
write. We are
looking to
change this.

Why Do We Want To Help
To
us education is more than just a numbers game
we are here to make a change. Approximately 7
million children in India Under the age of 14 don’t
have the means of a quality education and
approximately 50% of children drop out before
they finish their elementary education.
We are looking to create a quality, inclusive,
educationally promoting environment for children
in India, but we are taking it one step at a time.

The Library
3
years ago my family and relatives decided to
build a much needed library for the school. We
funded the raw materials and construction workers
and had a functional library by the end of 2011, but
there was one thing missing….BOOKS.
So
through the years in 2012 and 2013 we have
been given second hand books from the Glenealy
Primary school which we are sending down to
stock the schools library twice every year.

The Library (cont.)
So far we are nowhere close to the number of books that we
hoped we would have by now, but we are still optimistic for
what's to come.

What We Want To Do
In the years to come we are looking to raise funds to support
the children's learning by opening a science lab and stocking it
with equipment.
We want fill the library with educational books and magazines,
but the only way we can do this is by getting your help.
We would really appreciate if you could take a look at our
Contact Us & Donations page and make a small donation to
improve the education given to these children.
