A Ride to Education: How Kudiperambakkam Got Its School Bus

Kudiperambakkam is an Irular village with no school of its own. The nearest school is miles away, and for years no public bus came into the village. Children who wanted to study had to walk the whole distance, and many simply stopped going.

Arise Charitable Trust took the problem to the government. Our team petitioned for a bus route, met officials again and again, and brought the community together to press the case. It took months.

In August 2024 the route was approved, and the first bus rolled into the village. Children cheered as they boarded, and parents watched them leave for class on a bus that now comes every day.

For the children of Kudiperambakkam, a bus route is the difference between staying in school and dropping out. Your support keeps this work going in every village where Arise runs a centre.
