Partnership Schools

The Dragonfly Schools Foundation currently works in partnership with the following projects to deliver basic education and to promote equality, empowerment and wellbeing. Our provision currently includes; the rental costs of suitable school premises, teaching and support staff salaries, sponsorship of pupils, teaching resources and support for out-of-school-hours education programmes. 

Our Partnership Desert Camp School

This joyous little school provides basic Literacy, Numeracy and IT education, together with Art programmes, Dance and Music. The school currently accommodates approximately forty-five pupils, living in the desert camps around Pushkar, all of whom are normally unable to attend school due to poverty and low social status.

Our Partnership Special Needs School

This wonderfully vibrant school provides basic education, therapies and care for poor children with severe learning difficulties and physical disabilities. Originally established by a local head teacher in her own home, but now in its own building, this most caring little school currently serves between fifty and sixty pupils.

Our Partnership Part-time School and Homework Club

This exciting project operates from a small rented house in Pushkar, providing part-time education and creative activities and after-school homework support for between forty and fifty children. When pupils are ready, they are sponsored to attend a local mainstream school with an inclusive ethos.

Each of our Partnership Schools works to promote the children’s wellbeing, and to maintain and celebrate their cultural heritage, through a broad and varied curriculum which embraces Art, Crafts, Music, Dancing, Yoga and Health Education. In addition, they provide nutritious food for the children each day and access to First Aid if required.
