This is the first of many such initiatives that Cashkaro.com aims to launch. The children benefiting from this belong to impoverished families in Odisha who cannot afford school fees any more. Faced with the risk of pulling their children out of school due to lack of funds, the families seek small loans to pay the fees. Milaap has partnered with the Mahashakti Foundation in Odisha to provide these children (as young as 6 years) affordable education loans to continue their studies. The loans help their parents pay the children’s school fees, purchase textbooks and shoes and the parents repay the loan in monthly installments.Swati Bhargava, the co-founder of Cashkaro.com, is an ex Goldman Sachs banker and London School of Economics graduate. With an illustrious career backed by strong academic pedigree, Swati is aware of how far education can propel the life of a student. She is personally passionate about the cause of students’ education and is vested in bringing the campaign to her community. “With a strong community of over 8 Lakh people, we bring the crowdfunding concept via cashback to this unique campaign for helping build education in early years. We believe that we must help each other rise towards our ambitions and potential. Milaap offers a great way to do that in a transparent, accountable and engaging way. Cashkaro.com will match every Rupee that is lent towards this worthy cause!”With the aim of continuing social development initiatives, Cashkaro will soon make it possible for its members to participate and also donate their cashback to other charities listed with on their site.The company is aggressively promoting this initiative on their website as well as social media to spread the word about the campaign.
