“GLOBAL BANJARA BAPTIST MINISTRIES, INDIAANNUAL REPORT 2024 School Project - Aletheia Banjara School: Boarding Facilities: At present, our school houses 62 boarders who are temporarily accommodated in classrooms, sleeping on the floors. The prolonged drought in this region has forced many families to migrate elsewhere in search of livelihood, leaving them with no choice but to enroll their children in boarding schools. Construction of Teachers Quarters: The Teachers Quarters have been completed, and six of our teachers are now comfortably settled into four apartments. This new facility allows our staff to stay close to the school and focus more fully on guiding and supporting our students. Weve also built eight new toilets, greatly improving hygiene and convenience for both students and staff. These achievements have been possible only with the generous support of our donors. Your contributions continue to make a lasting difference in the lives of our teachers and students. From all of us at the school, thank you for standing with us and helping create a better learning environment for our children.
