Millions Of Kids In India Can’t Afford To Go To School, Donate School Bags & Make Their Dreams Come True

One of our fondest memories is that of our school days. School is often where we form our first close friendships. Shared experiences, inside jokes, and the comfort of belonging to a group create a warmth that can last a lifetime. 

But not every child is lucky enough to go to school. Their days are spent in crowded tea stalls or noisy factories where they struggle for a morsel of food. They beg at traffic signals and rummage through garbage to fill their stomachs. The path to education seems a distant dream, replaced by the harsh realities of daily survival.

These young minds deserve to live a life of happiness and dignity 

It’s been 75 long years since India got its independence from the colonizers. But, unfortunately, issues like poverty, hunger, and homelessness still plague the country. Countless children in India are still in no condition to go to school. They hardly have enough to eat - a proper education. While the Constitution of the land promises free and mandatory education to all children till 14 years of age, the reality at the grassroots level is seamy.

“It is sad when you see 5-6 year-olds working in a tea shack or selling pens by the roadside. And when we ask them if they want to go to school, they innocently ask us how will they carry their books - because, in place of a school bag, all they have are tatters and rags…” - an NGO worker working with slum children. 

The lack of basic amenities has been stopping countless children in India from getting a proper education. They are forced to live a life of sadness and pain, suffering and torture. 

But you can change that now

Together with the Donatekart Foundation and its on-ground NGOs, you can pave the road for a child's future. With your help, someone can study and grow up to make something of themselves. With education, these children can sustain and make a place for themselves in the world. All it takes is a simple click from the comfort of your home. 

We urge you to donate school bags to thousands of kids across India and give them a second chance at life. We will ensure that these bags reach the most deserving children from underprivileged and marginalized communities. Donate today to make a difference.
