As a result, children in developing countries cannot escape the poverty trap and it is almost impossible for them to lead a dignified life.<\/p>\n<p>In order to enable people to help themselves, we aim to ensure that marginalized children have free access to modern educational facilities. Through our state-approved SONNE schools, our training centres and day-care centres in Bangladesh, India and Myanmar we give our students the chance to develop and, at the same time, we gradually raise the educational level of education of entire regions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_half  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '  style='font-size:18px; '  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">SONNE-International operates 30 schools<\/h3>\n<p>Thanks to our support, Anado Kumar can finally go to school!<\/p>\n<p>Anado is one of our 2,000 students and lives with his parents in a remote village in northern India.

The nearest government school is a long way away.<\/p>\n<p>When people can earn their own income, they have the chance to lead a self-determined life. Sending children out to beg brings families money only in the short term.
