My name is Stuti Iyer, I am a grade 11 student, at the Riverside school Ahmedabad. I have started this campaign to raise awareness and funds to transform the lives of children & young adults who are differently abled and who come from poorer sections of society.

As I started growing up I started observing the world around me, and what I began noticing was that people who were differently abled, or were underprivileged weren’t treated fairly by those on the other end of the spectrum. They would get cheated, laughed at, or at times they were verbally abused.
Growing up I have always wanted to help people especially children who weren’t as privileged as me. Sometimes I would do collection drives for kids leaving on the street, and sometimes for the kids living in orphanages.

I got to know about this online crowd funding platform, and understood that this way I could atleast try to change the lives of a few such children, and after that when I got to know that the NGO Prabhat worked with differently abled children, and helped them get education, follow their passion, and become confident. What pushed me even more in helping these children was the fact that a sum of just INR 12500 can help a child get education from a specially trained teacher for the entire year.
As an individual, I am trying to raise INR 25000 to impact 2 children/young adults. If I collect more funds, we can transform the lives of more such children and young adults.

Once the campaign is completed the NGO will give feedback on the beneficiaries. In cases where the parents are not comfortable with sharing the images of their son/daughter, we will use an AVATAR. I hope you understand the sensitivity in sharing that information.
