Schools already making a difference
Three schools are already benefiting from HIMWATS’s furniture and computer support.

Champawat
HIMWATS's computers — one machine, then three — turned a shared three-or-four-PC setup into the school's own HIMWATS Digital Learning Center. Roughly 100 students across Classes 6–8 now train on it, with monthly usage reports sent back by Principal Sureshanand Joshi.

Surmount Public School
Started just before COVID to educate a forest-edge village where families could not otherwise afford school — and where sending a daughter to school was not a given. Today the school runs classes nursery through 5.
What the school is working towards
- Better education for the village with a deliberate focus on the girl child
- Health check-up camps for disease prevention
- Environmental awareness and nature preservation
- Linking bright students to scholarships and better schools
We are working to help the students get a good foundation in education and give them a dream for a better future — every child has a right to develop with dignity.
Adarsh Model School
Once on the verge of closure, Adarsh Model School was kept open with support from Tryambak Foundation and other well-wishers. It now runs nursery through Class 8 for exceptionally talented students who had few other options nearby.
What the school is working towards
- Quality primary education starting from Adarsh Model School, Pauri
- Regular health check-up camps with referrals
- Digital literacy across the catchment villages
- Vocational training for children and parents to close skill gaps
We ensure the child is not left out due to non-availability of money with parents — school fees are adjusted to each family's paying capacity.
What does adoption actually mean?
Your support creates real change
When you adopt a school, you help with:
Equip a classroom
Desks, chairs, tables and the storage a room needs before anything else works.
Bring technology
Computers and digital learning — as few as one to four machines changes what can be taught.
Keep children enrolled
Fees are adjusted to what a family can pay, and some children are carried entirely.
Follow the impact
Every adopted school sends a monthly note on what the equipment is doing.
Five schools. One register of hope.

How the programme works
A simple four-step journey
Request
Schools are chosen on request.
Equip
Furniture and computers are placed.
Report
Schools report back monthly.
Track
Individual children are tracked, not just schools.
- RequestHead teachers or trustees approach HIMWATS directly; five schools were selected this way across Champawat, Haldwani and Pauri Garhwal.
- EquipDesks, chairs and storage go in first; where funding allows, a small computer lab follows — as few as one to four machines, which is often the difference between shared theory and hands-on practice.
- ReportEach adopted school submits a monthly note on equipment condition and how it is being used, so HIMWATS and its donors can see the resource is actually working.
- TrackAt the two most resource-strapped schools, HIMWATS also underwrites fees for specific children — 15 girls at Basani attend entirely free.
The journey so far
Year by year
- 2026
April 2026
The digital learning centre reports back
VVMIC's own report on what the computer lab has changed for its students: guided lab sessions for Classes 6–8, a projector-linked classroom, and shared terminals funded by HIMWATS.
- 2025
The microsite gave no date for these placements. They are filed under 2025 because the open ask is FY 2025–26 and VVMIC reported on its lab in April 2026, so the placement precedes it.

Partners in change
Who makes this possible
The programme runs on named people, not anonymous funds — every donation is coordinated by someone HIMWATS can point to directly.
Lead partner
LEAP Educational Foundation
Anchor partner for the Adopt A School initiative; funded the computer and furniture rollout at Champawat's three schools.
Earlier rescue
Tryambak Foundation
Support that kept Adarsh Model School, Pauri open when it was on the verge of closure.
On-ground coordination
Vikram Torpurani, Anurag & Megha Bisht
Coordinated furniture at Champawat and VVMIC, and the computer placement at Basani, Haldwani via AICA.
How you will know it happened
The schools report back. Every month.
Adopt A School does not end when the furniture arrives. Each school sends HIMWATS a monthly report, and individual children are followed — not just a headcount of the school they attend.
We are working to help the students get a good foundation in education and give them a dream for a better future — every child has a right to develop with dignity.
