ABOUT ME AND THIS CAMPAIGN
My name is ARZOI SINGH. I am 14-years-old and a Grade 9 student at Vasant Valley School.
I am doing this campaign to help underprivileged women and give them a livelihood. The beneficiaries are from in and around Ghaziabad. This will give them a sustainable livelihood by providing them with suitable training in fashion designing, tailoring, etc, and also by giving them sewing machines. This will completely transform their lives and also impact their families.
The fact that it costs just INR 7500 to impact a woman is amazing. I was surprised to learn that with just this much, they can have a sustainable livelihood. Through this campaign, I aim to transform the lives of many underprivileged women and their families. This will make them financially independent and impact their families for generations to come.
Please support my campaign and let us together transform their lives.
