School Kit Drive, an initiative by Youth for Seva to ensure that every child attends school with dignity.

Objective

To encourage every child to take first step towards school.

The Need

40% of India’s population is below 18 years (children), Less than half of the children go to school. And only 1/3 reach to Grade 8, Children dropping out of schools are a common sight.

Children drop out of schools owing to limited financial means, lack of access to school materials & parents’ indifference towards education

Program Goal

In an attempt to combat this challenge, YFS initiated the School Kit Sponsorship, a program designed to ensure that basic school supplies reach even the remotest parts of a few states across India. With contributions from donors, we enable children to attend the school.

Reach out 2020-21

Last year around 61,103 children benefitted by this program.  School authorities have noted an increase in student enrolment and we hope to maintain that momentum. This year we are planning to reach 75000+ Kits
