Swati Awasthy Walks the ramp for a cause

Fundraising for Dallas Vibe 2020

Dear friend:

I am walking the fashion show for Vibe 2020, Dancing for a Cause, is an exciting fundraiser for Vibha- whose core goal is to Educate, Empower and Enable children through education. The event will be held on Feb 29th, at Noah's special events center in Irving Texas. 

Why Am I doing this? 

In India today,

Elementary school enrollment levels- 97% 

Senior secondary level enrollment rate - 56% 

With attendance rates at 70% 

Learning outcomes per the 2018 Annual Survey of Education Report are also pretty dismal:

Only 1/4th of the students enrolled are at grade level in terms of math and reading skills, 

Only 1/2  of all children surveyed can read and 

Less than a 1/3rd can do basic arithmetic. 

Vibha enables solutions to problems like these , constantly looking for scalable, sustainable and replicable models that can meaningfully address the root cause. 

Outcomes matter, and the bar is always set high for trust and transparency, one that was recognized with the 2019 Top Rated Award from GreatNonProfits and the 2019 GuideStar Platinum Seal, which puts Vibha in the top 0.1% of over 2 Million listed non-profits.

The efforts of Vibha currently empower almost 2.3 million children in India. I want to also join in this movement to influence learning outcomes.  I can't do it without your love and support. Will you join our movement and support me in my fundraiser?
