Put a story in a child's hands
Folksutra's curriculum is free to schools, which means the cost sits with us — and with the people who fund us. There are no tiers and no minimums. Give what feels right, and it goes straight to work.

The simplest way to support the work: scan the QR with any UPI app, or make a bank transfer from any Indian bank. There is no platform in between and no processing cut — the full amount lands in the trust's account in Varanasi.

Any UPI app works — GPay, PhonePe, Paytm — or pay the UPI ID listed alongside.
