The Learning Tea
Share
The Learning Tea is a scholarship program dedicated to educating impoverished young women in India.
The Learning Tea has accepts up to 12 young women per year—all honors students in their respective grades—into our center. Since 2010, over 50 volunteers have traveled to India to help the girls and perform routine maintenance and repair work on our living facility. The donations from our generous supporters have helped the Learning Tea establish and maintain a comfortable and safe housing unit in Darjeeling that includes a water-filtration system and a modern bathroom. The organization not only provides for our scholars’ housing, tuition, food, clothing, medical benefits, and other life necessities, but also music lessons, tutoring, computer classes, and other extracurricular activities through the proceeds of our Darjeeling tea sales, used book purchases, and monthly dinners at Dr. Bombay’s in Atlanta, Georgia. The students we work with in India are coming from an unbelievable world of extreme poverty. Without further education, job prospects are slim for these girls… their future jobs would range from manual labor like carrying bricks, rolling ci******es or breaking up stone to make concrete and most of all are often sold into child labor, child trafficking, or prostitution. The Learning Tea and your generous donations are opening their futures up to better possibilities through education! We have two housing center locations, one in Darjeeling and one in Kolkata and are soon opening a third location in Chennai.

Thank you friends and fans of The Learning Tea and Dr Bombay's Underwater Tea Party. Your support is our success to provide complete financial, educational, medical and life costs to our scholars living in our Learning Tea house in Darjeeling India. Rinzee’s six year path to graduate, two years of high school and her four year degree is due to your unwavering support of our little tea shop that could. Thank you for sipping for scholars, every cup is a part of this effort . We are over the moon. ❤️
We will continue our monthly Taste of India dinners once we feel the community is safe to gather.

There is no other way to put this other than we need your help. More specifically the young women who are our Learning Tea scholars need your help. The pandemic situation in India is critical. Just do a quick search of COVID-19 in India and you’ll understand. All of our scholars are now displaced. Last month, our landlord in Darjeeling decided the space that has been home to our students for years will be a short term rental for visitors. We don’t blame him, but we’re concerned for our scholars. They had to move themselves into a new space that is further from their schools. For as long as we can remember, you all have supported our mission to provide shelter, food and education for our scholars. At this time of uncertainty, we hope you’ll continue do so through the donation link below. If you would like to see more photos and updates please join our mailing list, also our Taste of India dinner tickets for May are on sale now on our website. We and our young scholars thank you with all our hearts!
