THE BACKDROP
Children from low-income homes have faced a lot of challenges due to the pandemic as many of their parents have lost their jobs and are in extreme financial stress. They are unable to afford rations or blankets to protect themselves from the harsh winter. There is an urgent need to support the families with these essentials.
PATHSHALA is an initiative by the Delhi based NGO, Niriksha Charitable Trust to provide free after-school classes to these underprivileged children in Gurgaon to help them cope with their studies which they missed due to the pandemic.
PIC : Lets transform the lives of children like this.
ABOUT PATHSHALA :
- Located at Sector 26, Gurgaon.
- Provides free after-school remedial classes to Grade 7 and 8 students.
- These students go to government schools in Gurgaon for their regular classes.
- They are often first generation learners.
- They come from underprivileged homes and do not have access to basic necessities.

THE INITIATIVE

We aim to give them rations that will last them a month, two good-quality blankets to protect them from the harsh winter, books for school and stationary. This will give them the much-needed comfort, boost their health and ensure that they do not have to dropout of school. Each kit costs just INR 1500.

ABOUT ME
My name is AASHNA KHANNA. I am 13 years old and in Grade 8 at TSRS, Aravali.
Many families have lost their source of income during the pandemic and are in grave financial stress. They are unable to provide food for their family and sending their children to school is a challenge.
While we are home in the warmth, eating what we like and throwing a fuss about what we don’t like, these kids don’t get that option. They eat what they have or they go hungry. Their meals aren’t as filling or nourishing because they don’t have enough.
Through this campaign, we aim to help them by giving them a kit that contains rations for a month, blankets, books and stationary. Each kit costs just INR 1500. This will help give them comfort, improve their health and boost their attendance.
Please support my campaign and let us together bring them the much-needed relief.
