About:
My name is Aaryan Patil. I am 16 years old and a Grade 12 student at EuroSchool, HSR, Bengaluru,
I have undertaken this campaign because I was surprised to learn that many students from low-income homes in Karnataka, who go to school (mainly govt schools) do not have basic school gear like proper footwear or a school bag and often sit on the hard ground to study at school.
Sitting down on the floor for long periods means 9 in 10 students will face posture-related issues. It also indirectly impacts 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 tiny amount to impact a student. Each kit costs just INR 900 including the cost of distribution. Fund INR 1800 for example and transform the lives of 2 students.
Kindly support my campaign and let us together impact the health, attendance, and grades of these fellow students. This kit also brings a big smile to their faces and gives them the confidence to attend school with a renewed mindset.
