About:
My name is Aarav Gill. I am 12 years old and in Grade 8 at DPS Gurgaon.
I have undertaken this campaign because I was astonished to learn that many students from low-income homes in Uttar Pradesh who go to school do not have basic school gear like proper footwear or a school bag and often sit on the hard ground in order to study at school.
Sitting down on the floor for long periods of time means 9 in 10 students will face posture-related problems. It also 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 900 and provides the students a pair of recycled footwear, a recycled study mat to sit comfortably at school or home, a recycled school bag for books, and a cloth mask. This is a very small amount to impact a student. Fund INR 18000 for example and transform the lives of 20 students.
Please support my campaign and let us together impact the health, school attendance, and grades of these fellow students. This kit also brings a big smile to their faces and gives them a lot of confidence. Everyone has a right to get proper education
