The Event
Children in need of assistance are identified through State's data and Kites district coordinators. Accordingly, Rs.1200/- are raised and allocated per child. After the distribution of the first 1000 kits, Umeed will allocate essentials to more deserving students.
What?
We started this initiative during the COVID-19 pandemic to help children with their school essentials. Through Umeed, we provide the materials (from notebooks and pens to sanitisers) necessary for helping them achieve their dreams.
When and Where??
We started Umeed in July 2020 and has been able to help approximately 1200 children from 10 states across India. Our goal is to conduct this programme every academic year to help children with their school materials.
Know More
“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”
W.B. Yeats.
Every child is ignited by their innocent dreams and each of them has the potential to reach the stars. But the pandemic has filled their world with uncertainty. Through our Umeed initiative, you can lend a helping hand to the disadvantaged children so that their future remains bright.
We aim to donate school essentials for primary and high school students from disadvantaged communities across the country. From your generous donations, essentials like notebooks, pencils, backpack, lunchbox, steel water bottle, instrument box, crayons and sanitiser will be bought and distributed. In this pandemic situation when schools are being held online, you can also donate old or damaged electronics such as laptops, smartphones and tablets to help the children access uninterrupted learning.
Our Mission
To decrease resource limitation among students in India, lending our small contribution to a hassle-free learning experience for disadvantaged children.
