Education is the foundation of a better future – and Ventana Foundation firmly believes in supporting rural education to pave the way for a brighter tomorrow. In June 2022, the Foundation received a request from the Nittur Higher Primary School for financial assistance in repairing their school building. The school has a rich history of 122 years, and despite the growing popularity of English medium schools, it continues to educate over 200 rural students.

The urgent support was for one of the halls in the building, which was in dire need of fixing to prevent further damage to the school's infrastructure. One of Ventana Foundation's members, Mr. Gururaja Bhat, an alumnus of the school, brought forward the request for financial assistance. The school authorities had plans to reuse the repaired roof in their upcoming new building project, so the foundation's contribution of INR 1,00,000 towards the estimated INR 12 lakh repair cost would serve a dual purpose.

Ventana Foundation's contribution went towards renovating the school's recreation hall, a crucial space for students to engage in extracurricular activities. The hall had been neglected for some time, and the repair work was essential to create a safe and conducive environment for the students. The Foundation's investment has transformed the hall into a vibrant and functional space that students can now enjoy.

In August 2022, Mr. Gururaja Bhat attended the inaugural event, where he witnessed the renovated hall and its impact on the school community. The Nittur Higher Primary School now has a space where students can explore their creative talents and develop life skills through various activities. The school's management and teachers expressed their gratitude to Ventana Foundation for their support, stating that the renovated hall has become the pride of the school.

Ventana Foundation's contribution has not only aided in repairing the school building but has also helped the school maintain its rich legacy of education. The Foundation's commitment to education has left a positive impact on the lives of many students in Nittur and beyond. Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty, and with the Foundation's support, these students can aspire to a brighter future.

The renovation of the Nittur Higher Primary School's recreation hall is a testament to the Ventana Foundation's vision of promoting education and fostering the growth of local schools. The Foundation hopes to contribute towards many more such initiatives that help build a brighter future for our community.
