About:
My name is Neel. I am 13-years old and a Grade 8 student at EuroSchool, Airoli.
I have undertaken this campaign because I was surprised to learn that many students from low-income homes in Maharashtra who go to school (mainly government schools) do not have basic school gear like proper footwear or a school bag and often sit on the hard ground to study.
Sitting on the floor for long periods of time means 9 in 10 students will face posture-related problems. This 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 950 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 that can impact a student. Fund INR 1900, for example, and transform the lives of two students.
Please support my campaign and let us together impact the health, school atte
