What is Vanyatra?
Vanyatra is a guided visit to Ekal villages — see the one-teacher schools you support at work, meet the teachers and children, and share a day in village life.
How it works
Seeing is believing
Chapters organise Vanyatras through the year, typically as one- or two-day trips to nearby Ekal villages. Donors sit in classes, talk with teachers and village committees, and experience the impact of their giving directly.
Many of FTS's most committed supporters — including national office bearers — began with a single Vanyatra. [Upcoming Vanyatra dates will be listed under Events.]
