Giving Tree Education Fund
Education has been one of our deep-rooted values. Several students in the Kodava community are facing extreme challenges due to financial constraints or acute changes in personal situations. Giving Tree is an initiative by Kodava Koota that aims to support deserving students and reduce the school/college dropout rates. Your contributions will go a long way in providing a helping hand to the students and families in desperate need of monetary assistance. Together, we can make sure that none of our children get left behind.
