The American India Foundation (AIF) is excited to announce the first-ever Light a LAMP Campaign! Between October 15 – December 3. This crowdfunding campaign will call upon high school students, college students, and young professionals across the globe to create awareness pages to help give an education for 5,000 children of Indian migrant workers.

AIF's Learning and Migration Program (LAMP):

Across India, approximately 72 million people migrate from their villages in remote rural areas every year in search of labor, uprooting entire families for up to eight months at a time in hazardous work sites. All too often, children are forced to migrate with their parents, leaving behind their schools, friends, and communities.

In 2003, the American India Foundation (AIF) launched the Learning and Migration Program (LAMP): 

Provides children affected by migration with resources to attend local schools, stable home and educational environments, as well as safe and structured care in seasonal residential hostels during migration season

Educated over 280,000 children in over 9 states in India

Only takes $50 to educate one child per year
