The school hopes to initially be a primary school, with 150 pupils, with expansion expected year-on-year. The charity is still committed to all of its other Wings of Hope projects, but feels that with its own school in Pondicherry – where educational needs are incredibly high – even more can be achieved to help in the plight of education for children.

The Get School Started Campaign, launched by Sir Richard is to help get this new school up and running as quickly as possible. The Campaign target is £500,000, and so every little will help. Find out how you can buy a brick for just £20, and directly help start up this school.
