Annual Report
Every year, The Joshua Foundation files a signed activity report of everything accomplished at St. John’s and in the surrounding villages. Here are the highlights.
January 2021
The Joshua Foundation supplied 25kg rice bags and groceries to 20 poor families in Dantherapalli who had tested positive for COVID-19 and were staying home in quarantine, helping them get through isolation without going without food.
February 2021
Akhila and her brother Varun study in 3rd and 1st class at St. John's, and live with their grandparents behind the school's colony. When Akhila, her grandfather, grandmother and the rest of the family tested positive for COVID-19, the Foundation was able to visit them — following all COVID-19 safety norms — and supplied food and medication throughout their quarantine. The family was deeply thankful for the support.
March 2021
The Joshua Foundation distributed 2,000 masks across 3 villages in Giddalur Mandal, working closely with Mr. Venkateshwara Rao, the Giddalur Mandal Educational Officer, who walked alongside the team to distribute the masks and help raise awareness about fighting COVID-19. It was valuable work in bringing awareness to an under-informed community, and everyone involved expressed their appreciation for the effort.
This coverage ran in the local Giddalur press — pictured alongside is the original news clipping of the mask distribution.
2021
Girls' enrollment at St. John's grew from just 8 students in the school's first year to 90, through sustained outreach under the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao initiative.
