My name is Chinmai , and I am 14 years old, a Grade 8 student at DPS Electronic City, Bengaluru.

I have started this campaign because I was deeply moved to learn that many students from low-income families in Karnataka, especially those attending government schools, lack basic school essentials like proper footwear, school bags, and even a comfortable place to sit while studying.

Sitting on the hard floor for long periods not only affects their posture, with 9 out of 10 students at risk of posture-related problems, but also impacts their eyesight, concentration, and overall ability to learn. Additionally, the lack of footwear exposes them to foot-related infections and other health issues.

For just INR 950, we can provide a “Back-to-School Kit” that includes:
• A pair of recycled footwear for protection and comfort.
• A recycled study mat to sit on comfortably at school or home.
• A recycled school bag to carry their books and supplies.

This small amount can make a big difference in the life of a student. For example, by contributing INR 1,900, you can transform the lives of two children, giving them the tools and confidence they need to succeed in school.

Your support will not only improve their health, school attendance, and academic performance but will also bring smiles to their faces and boost their confidence.

Let’s work together to create a brighter future for these students. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a big difference.
