1.3 billion students are no longer going to school. While some of us are lucky enough to experience continuity in schooling, a lot of children are at home; lacking the resources it takes to connect to school in this tenacious global situation. 826 million children are at home, and while most of them are still eagerly hoping schools will start, some are losing hope. Only 8% of Indian students have the resources it takes to commit to e-learning. An overwhelming majority of the under-resourced students belong to the low-income families of rural India. They cannot afford to own smartphones, let alone subscribe to internet services. This is adversely affecting our children, their dreams and aspirations. The global scenario is uncertain, but their futures shouldn’t be. We cannot let their hope die.  

I wish to give my fellow rural friends a helping hand to get the same opportunities that I so easily avail. I’m aiming to reach out to rural students to provide them smartphones and free internet access. To support as many as I can, every step counts, every penny counts. A small donation from you will go a long way in re-igniting their hopes and securing their education. Education is a human right, and every child deserves it.
