    This fundraiser will benefit

    Pradeep K N

    from Bangalore, Karnataka

The team of SnehaHastha was started by Pradeep K N from Tumakuru with a purpose to connect the IT job seekers. Then it was simply a WhatsApp group which connects job seekers to job posts and referrals who work in companies. Till now SnehaHastha has successfully placed more than 3000 employees.

With the build up of network the team grouped themselves to be named as “SnehaHastha” which translates to ‘helping hand’. With the plan to have better access to education for all the kids of Karnataka, these techies started with the mission to revive the old Government schools of Karnataka. The reviving of the Government schools are very much necessary since they are the ones who provide free education for the needy and help in eradicating under nourishment and many others. It is the responsibility of every individual as much as the government to contribute in ways possible.

Need for more funds
These days the works done by SnehaHastha has been getting recognition. The justification for this would be the number of calls the team gets from schools asking for support. There are more than ten schools who have called for and are in need of support and our hands are tied up with the limited financial source that we have. This motivated us to turn to the crowd and ask for more funds.

With this campaign we request the individuals to contribute funds for this initiative. We request you to come and join us in further events conducted by Team SnehaHastha helping us reach create a better tomorrow.

(The event related details and bills of purchase will be shared as an update with all the funders)
