My name is Medhansh Kumar. I am 13 years old and a Grade 8 student at The Pathways School, Noida.

I have undertaken this campaign because I was surprised to know that many underprivileged students, who go to school, do not have the proper equipment such as footwear, school bag, etc. They often sit for houses on a hard floor as well.

Sitting down on the floor for long periods of time means 9 in 10 students will face posture-related problems or back 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. Of we go and see the feet of these students, they are a mess and that is really scary.

The back-to-school kit costing INR 900 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. With just this amount, you can help the schooling and educational life of students. and you fund a higher amount, for example, INR 4500 then you can change the lives of 5 students.

Please support my campaign and let us together impact these fellow students' health, school attendance, and grades. This kit also brings a big smile to their faces and gives them a lot of confidence to continue studying.
