School Kit
Raising Donations to Support School Children
Sewa in 2012 started School Kit Program and grew significantly in 2015, support to the communities in India is extended by providing them with education, healthcare and other basic needs. One of their key initiatives is the Sponsor a child program, which enables individuals to make a significant impact in the life of a child in need.
The Sponsors a Child program aims to provide education and a better future for children who would not have access to such opportunities otherwise. Through this program, sponsors can make a monthly contribution to cover the cost of a child’s education, healthcare, and basic needs, such as food and clothing.
Why should you donate?
About 40% of India’s Population is children who are below the age of 18 years, while less than half of the children go to school. Furthermore, only a third of the children reach to Grade 8, leading to children dropping out of schools becoming common.
This is mainly due to their limited financial means, lack of access to school materials & parents indifference towards education.
While the idea of the distribution of a school kit might seem trivial and insignificant to many, but the benefits of this simple gesture go a long way, like:-
- Instils a sense of attending a formal institution for education.
- Reduces the drop-out rates.
- Access to books and stationery develops interest and engages children in learning various subjects.
- Helps the parents become more serious about their child’s education due to its formalisation.
School kits and raincoats were distributed in 4 taluks (Thirthahalli, Sringeri, Koppa and NR Pura). Out of 500 SKs sponsored by Sewa International Australia, 250 were distributed in NR Pura taluk. Other 250 was distributed by Youth For Sewa directly.
