THE BACKDROP
While education is a fundamental right, it remains a distant dream for many girls in the Thane and Palghar districts of Maharashtra. For families that live in extreme poverty, sending their daughters to school is an expensive affair. Attending government schools is also difficult as they have to pay for books, uniforms, and transportation. Parents who have not experienced the benefits that come along with education such as an increase in earnings and quality of life don't know what they are missing out on by pulling their daughters out of school. They prefer to send them for work or get them married. This is why it is a cycle. Children who grow up without education are less likely to send their children to school.
THE SOLUTION
My classmates and I from the JBCN Intl School, Borivali are committed to helping these underprivileged girls by supporting their education. They study at vernacular schools in Thane and Palghar and need our help to continue their education. This is being done in partnership with the NGO Learning Space Foundation. This initiative will support the Grade 9 and 10 education of 125 girls who have already been identified. The scholarship will help them build careers and get them out of the vicious cycle of poverty that has plagued their families for generations.

ABOUT ME AND THIS CAMPAIGN
My name is TANISHQ KHANNA. I am 16 years old and in Grade 11 at the JBCN Intl School, Borivali.
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 are unable to afford to send their daughters to school. They prefer to send them for work.
I was thrilled to learn about this initiative that provides education to underprivileged girls in Palghar and Thane districts. This will help them continue their education and achieve their dreams. Just INR 12000 will support their education for an entire year.
Empowering girls through education, especially those from economically backward families has a massive impact on the 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. Let us together lend a helping hand and transform their lives.
