Supporting access to education in Ladakh Region (Northern India)
In September 2022, INOKS Capital provided a 15’000$ grant to fund scholarships of 25 school children in the Ladakh region (Northern India) for youth from marginalised ethnic groups, in particular young girls, who noticeably struggle with access to basic education. The grant will cover total yearly school costs (tuition fees, transport, accommodation & food, technology, laboratory, and co-curricular activities) noting that these educational expenses represent a very high financial burden for the families whose average household income stands below 700$ per year. The children will attend the Druk Padma Karpo School, a school spearheading sustainable design in the region.
