About:
My name is Omar Siddiqui. I am 17 years old and in Grade 12th at Vibgyor High, Lucknow.
I have undertaken this campaign because I think it is incredible to impact the life of a girl who is not as fortunate as I am. Many families have lost their source of income during the pandemic and are unable to send their daughters to school. The financial burden of the families have fallen on the shoulders of these young girls. They are forced to work as maids, vegetable vendors, cleaners etc.
The fact that Yatan Education Centre provides a meal, education, books etc for free makes it impossible for parents NOT to send their children to study. This allows these not-so-fortunate kids to experience school life. They are often the first ones to be educated in their entire family. The cost of educating them is just INR 9300 per year and that includes education, books/stationery, mid-day meals and more.
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 support these children.
