School Kit Full of Happiness and Hope
Acquisition of knowledge is the first step on the path to global sustainability, prosperity and world peace. Innovation and progress too come via education, a universal right.
According to a Sachar Committee report, 25 per cent children of Muslim parents in the 6-14 year age group have either never attended school or have dropped out, putting the literacy rate of the community much below the national average. Due to rising inflation and unemployment, more parents are unable to provide basic
food to their children or meet their school expenses. There are others who have little money to get their children admitted to schools but can’t afford to deal with daily
expenses related to studies such as necessary stationery item, school bags, etc.
It is for this reason Human Welfare Foundation had launched its School Kit Project in 2009. Since then, it takes on the mammoth task of distributing school kits among needy every year. It may look like one-dimensional need. But school kit means much more to a child than just a regular part of school-going activity.
HWF school kits, which allow students to further their studies, are particularly distributed among children living in unfavourable conditions or chronic poverty. Each
bag contains adequate materials for one student to study for one year. Through school kit distribution, HWF not only seeks to enable children to pursue their
education but also wants to raise awareness about the lack of access to education in the society. HWF Schoolbag Project may not be offering the ultimate answer to all the problems of the needy students, but it is definitely a step forward to empower young children by providing them with a key tool to become learned, innovative and
progressive members of a prosperous society.
HWF school kit – which contains best possible support as per need like uniform, shoes, fee along with a good looking bag, set of pencil, eraser, rubber, sharpener, glue and pen sachets, biscuits, note pad and reading books etc. Human Welfare Foundation is thankful to its sponsors, donors, philanthropists and
dedicated volunteers who are keen to reduce school dropouts in India and strengthen our educational efforts.
In last two years, we have supported more than 10,000 students by providing school kits. These school kits had been distributed among very needy students of Assam, Bihar, West Bengal, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Haryana, and Delhi. We are also thankful to local volunteer who helped us in reaching deserving students and prioritising educational assistance within School Kit Program. Last year we had spent around Rs. 50 lakh on the Schoolbag Project.
