Buwan Kothi International Trust



The Buwan Kothi International Trust was formed in March 2006 to raise funds for projects in Haryana in northern India, aimed at rural regeneration and building closer ties with rural communities in the state. Its Trustees are based in Leamington Spa and London.

The Trust's major project has been to raise over £120,000 for the successful construction of a primary school near the village of Buwan Kothi, which currently has 250 pupils and is named in memory of one of our founding trustees, Gilly Mundy, who died suddenly in March 2007 aged only 36. Gilly grew up in Leamington Spa and his brothers and father, local councillor Mota Singh, live locally. His wedding to Debbie Quargnolo in Haryana in December 2005 provided the inspiration for the establishment of the Trust and the Gilly Mundy Memorial Community School provides both a fitting tribute to his memory and a a real opportunity for rural children to receive a quality education.

The Trust is currently raising funds for the first local Community Resource Centre in the district surrounding Buwan Kothi, which will extend access to education for adults and provide urgently needed health services.
