IndiaTiger.org was founded by Kendall Kaestner, age 15, a graduate of RSF school and current sophomore at TPHS. After the loss of her home in the 2007 wildfires, Kendall visited India with her family, spending a day at Pardada Pardadi School for girls. She was moved to create an organization which could help these girls rise out of extreme poverty.

Pardada Pardadi currently serves over 900 girls in rural northeastern India where families typically exist on less than $2 per day. The school provides academic, practical and social education. Without its presence in their lives, many of these girls would be married and pregnant by the age of 14 years! Education provides the girls Hindu and English literacy, math skills, health and money management and leadership development. In the afternoons they are trained to sew embellished fabrics, giving them a trade for future employment.

IndiaTiger.org raises money to help the girls help themselves! Our current goal is to provide funds for toilets and improved sanitation. We are partnering with Kids Korps to participate in Servapalooza, April 25th which will raise awareness of our cause.

Throughout the month of May we will be taking donations of socks and underwear which will be delivered to the school in June. Donations may be taken to Spa Gregories, at 2710 Via De La Valle, Ste B-270 (at San Andres Dr) Del Mar, CA 92014
(858) 481-6672. Kids Korps members will earn service hours for their donations.

It costs just $367 to build a toilet, but can change the lives of hundreds. Instead of using farming fields as bathroom facilities, village girls (and their mothers ) will learn personal hygiene and begin to challenge centuries-old ways of thinking which enslave them!
