I dont see why it has to be a charity thing.
When I was in Kerala a couple of years ago one of the local guides took great delight in explaining how the local authority and people had done this and how it worked. It was a matter of great pride which the people were commited to.
If they do it through charity will they achieve the same commitment.
She told us how they had taken a different education model in that they took the schools out to the people, but they realised that the only way to reach full literacy was to let the ordinary schools do what they do with the kids and do special education for adults, thus achieving 98% literacy.
They then educated the adults into the idea that they could afford to educate one or two children well who would then be able to support the family well, rather than have 10 cha wallers who would all struggle to make ends meet.
