Friends of Saraswati is a charity that was established in the UK in September 2007 to help and support the Saraswati Education Centre in Varanasi, India. The centre has been operating in India since December 2006 and its central objective is to provide free education and care to the underprivileged children of Varanasi.

We provide courses in English, Hindi, Mathematics and Meditation, with the aim of giving these children skills that will enable them to create a better future for themselves and their families.

We will also run projects in the future, focusing on Information Technology, aiding in the development of specific skills, raising awareness of environmental issues, creating a vegi-garden on the roof top of the school, providing them with a healthy meal everyday as well as a wide range of artistic and cultural activities.

These projects as well as all the activities of the school are entirely sustained by voluntary assistance and donations . Therefore, it is important for the children and the centre to receive your kind support.
