My name is Yash Veer Pratap Banga. I am 14 years old and in Grade 9C at the DPS International School, Gurgaon.

I have undertaken this campaign because I felt that the children in such schools deserved to have basic gear and supplies to study at school. After I learnt that the children often grow health issues studying due to the schools lack of seats and no foot-gear available for them which often causes foot related diseases which lead to infections. This is a major issue as of now and I believe that it had to be combated.

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 gives students a pair of recycled footwear, a recycled study mat to sit comfortably at school or home and a recycled school bag for books. This is a very small amount to impact a student. Fund INR 3600 for example and transform the lives of 4 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.
