About:
I am Yutika Jha, a 14-year-old Grade 9 student at Podar International School in Navi Mumbai, and I am spearheading a campaign to address a pressing issue affecting students in low-income households across Maharashtra. It came to my attention that many students attending government schools lack basic school essentials like proper footwear and school bags. These students often find themselves sitting on hard floors for extended periods, leading to posture-related problems, eye strain, and difficulty concentrating on their studies.
To alleviate this situation, I have initiated the "Back-to-School Kit" campaign. The kit, which costs just INR 900, includes essential items such as recycled footwear, a study mat for comfortable seating at school or home, and a recycled school bag for carrying books. This small investment can make a significant impact on a student's well-being, directly influencing their health, attendance, and academic performance.
I am reaching out for your support to make a difference in the lives of these students. A contribution of INR 1800, for example, can transform the lives of two students by providing them with the necessary tools to pursue education comfortably and with confidence. It's not just about the tangible items in the kit; it's about empowering these students, boosting their morale, and giving them a sense of dignity.
Join me in this meaningful campaign, where your support goes beyond monetary contributions—it becomes a catalyst for positive change in the lives of young learners. Together, we can create a ripple effect that extends far beyond the classroom, fostering a community where every student has the opportunity to thrive. Let's come together and make a lasting impact on the health, attendance, and academic success of these deserving students.
