About:
My name is Akanksha Shashidhar. I am 16-years old and a Grade IB1 student at Canadian Intl School (CIS), Bengaluru, Karnataka.
This campaign is extremely close to my heart. I have taken up this initiative because I think being able to impact the lives of young girls (who are as old as me) will be incredible. These girls have no one to look after them. Makkala Dhama will transform their lives as they grow up in a secure environment that will help them focus on their studies, health and well being. At Makkala Dhama, girls are provided with accommodation, food, clothing, medical care, stationery, books, etc. They attend nearby schools.
The cost to impact a girl for a year is just INR 40000. The shelter home will provide all the necessary facilities to help them grow into independent and responsible adults. This campaign will definitely give them hope and comfort and will positively impact their lives.
Please support my campaign, as we can together support many girls and change their lives for the better.
