You can make a difference.

As a consequence of COVID-19, about 1.5 million schools in India were compelled to suspend their regular operations.

About 250 million children have been affected as their habits have already changed and a majority of them have got engaged in other means of earning needed to ensure survival.

You can help us to bring these children back to school.
