My name is Shashank V Rao. I’m 13 years old and currently studying in Grade 8 at DPS Electronic City, Bengaluru.

I’m on a mission to make a difference in the lives of students from low-income families in Karnataka, especially those in government schools. Many of these kids go to school without proper footwear, school bags, or even a comfortable place to sit. Can you imagine trying to focus on learning while sitting on the hard floor for hours every day?

This is more than just discomfort—9 out of 10 students develop posture-related problems from sitting like this, which also impacts their eyesight, focus, and ability to study. And that’s not all. Without proper footwear, they face a higher risk of foot-related diseases and health issues, which can force them to skip school.

Here’s where we can step in. For just INR 950, you can provide a “back-to-school kit” that changes everything. The kit includes:

A pair of recycled footwear for protection and comfort.
A recycled study mat to sit on, making learning more comfortable.
A recycled school bag to carry their books with pride.
Think about this: INR 1900 can transform the lives of two students. It’s such a small amount, but the impact is huge—it boosts their confidence, improves their health, and helps them focus better on their studies.

By supporting this campaign, you’re not just donating money—you’re gifting these kids hope, confidence, and a chance at a brighter future. Together, we can improve their school attendance, grades, and overall happiness.

Let’s make a difference, one kit at a time. Join me in bringing smiles to their faces and transforming lives. Thank you for your support!
