Appeal by Siddhant Arora
Education is one of the best ways to fight poverty, but in a country where one out of five children live in poverty and half of the population is illiterate, it's hard to find such a resource. Every child has the right to education but unfortunately, many people don't have the access to it. Your support can change a person's life.
An initiative to enable global Indian Community to help & support underprivileged children in India!
