A phenomenal work in progress at Sunbird Trust's HMFS in remote Assam

Located in a tiny and remote village called Mualdam in the Dima Hasao district of Assam and founded by William Ngamlai, Haite Memorial Friendship School (HMFS), was established with the aim of providing basic education to children in the area, most of whom did not have
access to any viable school.

The partnership between Sunbird Trust and HMFS began in 2018, when a member of the national NGO Goonj, moved by the dilapidated state of the school, requested Sunbird Trust to step in and help build a viable school.

The school, currently, has 15 staff and serves 201 children from 10 neighbouring villages around Mualdam who are studying in classes from KG to class 7. Considering the dire need for a new school building with adequate space for the children, Sunbird through the generous sponsorship of Manas Foundation and its founder Mr. Ravi Modi, constructed a brand-new school building with 12 rooms including classes from KG to Std VII.

Since the partnership started, the school has grown and improved in every aspect. Today, this school stands as a testament to bridging educational inequity. Sunbird Trust continues to strive towards providing value education to the most underserved children of HMFS catering to the dire need of the villagers in and around Mualdam.
