Helping underserved young people and families in Montgomery County, Dayton, Ohio

Since 2020, PRAGATHI has been a companion to Building Bridges (BB) in helping reach underserved young people and families in Montgomery County, Dayton, Ohio. PRAGATHI has donated over 20 refurbished desktop computers to help establish a computer lab in West Dayton where young people can go after school for assistance with homework, literacy, job skills, employment, programming, and tutoring. Furthermore, PRAGATHI has assisted in implementing a yoga class to teach young people ways to meditate and cope with trauma, anger, and depression. Last year, the organization sponsored several kids for the adopt-the-kid-for-Christmas program. This year, the organization will donate blankets to transient families and those in need.

Pragathi wants to scale up these efforts in a big way and help this community to the maximum possible extent.
