Hi,

If you're here then I've asked you to help me raise funds for these kids. I have worked with ApniShala before and felt that they are commited people to help improve kids' lives in India, and in a way that benefits society by enabling them to be confident and responsible.

All information about ApniShala is given below, however, you can just give me a call (you know my no.! :) ) and I'll share all I can about their work and my experiences with them.

Boond-boond se sagae bhare, so anything is a good donation.

cheers!
Gogi

Update: The previous goal was Rs. 15,000 which funded 10 kids for one year. Thanks to this early achievement, I've revised to goal to Rs. 29,000, which funds a full class of kids for one year.

Did you like what you just saw? Here's why I urge you to become Secret Santa for this cause.

I believe that a programme like this could turn children into reflective, conscientious citizens and changemakers in our society. And Apni Shala Foundation designs and delivers such programmes for children from low-income communities every day of the year in Mumbai. This year, they're taking this to 200 children who have resolved to address 40 social issues ranging from community violence, alcoholism and addiction, right up to waste management. They will be putting in an entire year of effort to identify, investigate and try and resolve these local problems. And they need our help.

As official Secret Santa for Apni Shala, I'm looking to raise an amount that will help empower 10 children by enrolling them in this programme. If you want to offer these children an education you've always wanted for yourself, become a Secret Santa this Christmas!

All you need to do is click 'Donate' on this page and contribute a small amount to help me reach my goal. 

What happens after you donate?

You'll thereafter be informed about how you helped made a difference. 

• You get the chance to interact with the children you supported and accompany them during their projects

• You will receive email updates on stories from the field about how the children worked on these very serious issues

Where does your money go?
80% of your above contribution is utilised for fee for facilitation and content development.
20% of your above contribution is utilised for capacity building of facilitators, parents' meeting expenses and community projects expsenses.

*The amount is excluding 8% fee charged by Milaap on every contribution.
