THE BACKDROP
For children from underprivileged homes, going to school is a luxury. Many families prefer to send their children to work rather than to school. Most of them are unaware of the importance of education in one's life. Even if children attend schools, they do not have any access to notebooks, stationary, school bags etc. This results in them losing interest to study and attend classes.
Especially post Covid, there has been a greater need to support thousands of underprivileged children in rural Karnataka with learning essentials so that they get access to study materials and are able to focus better in academics.
Supporting these children would certainly bring about a meaningful change in their lives as well as in the lives of their families.
THE INITIATIVE
The Swavalambi Trust is committed to helping these children with learning kits. Each kit contains a set of notebooks, writing materials, geometry kit, charts, a small bag etc. In the case of children with disabilities, a separate set of materials will be provided.
The cost of each kit incl distribution is INR 1150.
The beneficiaries from this initiative will mostly be first generation learners. The kits will be distributed to children from low-income homes, girl students, children with a single parent and children with disabilities. The distribution will be done in Government school students at Harohalli, Ramnagar and Dodabalapur (Bengaluru rural) in rural Karnataka.
Fund Generously:
IF YOU FUND,

CHILDREN LIKE THEM WILL BENEFIT
The distribution of the learning kits will be done in Government school located at Harohalli, Ramnagar and Dodabalapur in rural Karnataka.
ABOUT ME AND THIS CAMPAIGN
My name is UMESH H V. I am a concerned citizen.
I have undertaken this campaign because I think it is incredible to impact the life of a child who is from a financially stressed home. For many of these parents sending their children to school is a luxury. They are unable to buy school bags, notebooks, geometry boxes, etc for their kids. They do not realize that these are critical in the educational journey of their children.
The cost of providing one learning kit is just INR 1150. The kit will include notebooks, pens, pencils, chart papers, a geometry box, a school bag, etc. This will have a huge impact on their education and also lead to greater interest in academics. This will also boost attendance. Please fund my campaign as a simple act of kindness can have a profound impact on a child's life.
Let us together transform the lives of many underprivileged children.
PREVIOUS DISTRIBUTION DRIVE
Learning kits were distributed in Government schools in Bengaluru 3 years ago. Since there is a massive need for these kits, this initiative will be done this year as well.
