About:
My name is Siddhi Jairath. I am 15 years old. I am a grade 9 student at The Pathways School, Noida.
I have always been passionate about social issues and the wellbeing of different people coming from different communities. I've worked on several different projects which focus on different communities and different causes such as; People of colour, the LGBTQ+ community, education for underprivileged children, animal welfare, mental health awareness, body positivity, sexism and stereotypes, etc. I've done so by hosting cleanup drives, food drives, cloth drives, stationary drives, spreading awareness through social media, workshops, crowdfunding, etc. Currently, I'm working on a project regarding
the welfare of underprivileged children.
Sitting down on the floor for long periods of time means 9 in 10 students will face posture-related problems. It also has an indirect impact on their eyesight and their ability to concentrate and study. Lack of footwear also leads to foot-related diseases and health issues.
The back-to-school kit costs just INR 900 and gives students a pair of recycled footwear, a recycled study mat to sit comfortably at school or home and a recycled school bag for books. This is a very small amount to impact a student. Fund INR 4500 for example and transform the lives of 5 students.
Please support my campaign and let us together impact the health, school attendance, and grades of these fellow students. This kit also brings a big smile to their faces and gives them a lot of confidence.
