THE PROBLEM
The pandemic has severely impacted the education of girls from low-income homes. Since schools are closed, education has come to a standstill for many of them. This has lead to the girls falling prey to child labour, early marriage and domestic violence. Many girls are forced to dropout and support their families financially by going for work.
THE SOLUTION
The UDBHAV SCHOOL in Hyderabad is a very unique school that provides high quality ENGLISH MEDIUM education to students mainly from the slums of Hyderabad. Majority of the students are girls. Supporting a girl impacts not just her but her family for generations. The school is proudly managed by the IIM(A) Alumni Association (Hyderabad Chapter). Just INR 28000 will help educate them for a year and includes the cost of school, uniforms, books, mid-day meals etc.
The school also focuses on educating more girls, bring smiles to their faces and allow them to grow up as women who become independent, and bring about social change in their families for generations to come.
My classmates and I, from the Chirec International School are doing this initiative to fund the education of girls at this school.
The Udbhav School in Hyderabad is run and managed by the IIMAAA CHARITABLE TRUST. It helps educate girls in large numbers. The objective is also to change their mindset so they are more ambitious and strive harder.
IF YOU FUND,
INR 4600, you educate a girl for 2 months.
INR 9200, you educate a girl for 4 months.
INR 13800, you educate a girl for 6 months.

IMPACT - STORIES OF SUCCESS :
ABOUT ME:
My name is Alisha. I am 14 years old and in Grade 9 Chirec International School.
I have undertaken this campaign because I think it is very meaningful to impact the life of a young girl (who is probably my age) by supporting their education. Many families have lost their source of income during the pandemic and are unable to afford to send their daughters to school OR have them working (which has forced to drop-out).
I was thrilled to learn that the UDBHAV School in Hyderabad is an English medium school that focusses on the girl child. It provides high quality education with modern facilities including science and computer labs and is supported by the IIM Ahmedabad Alumni Association. The cost of funding these girls education included tuition fee, uniforms, books/stationery and part funds their daily mid-day meal too.
Empowering girls through education, especially those from economically backward families has a massive impact on their entire family for generations to come while also accelerating social equality.These girls grow up to be more confident and take on responsibilities that they would normally shy away from.
Please support my campaign as a simple act of kindness can have a profound impact on a girl's life & for her family. Let us together lend a helping hand and transform their lives.
