Support Nayan As He Runs To Raise Funds For Vibha!

Fundraising for This Year End, Let's Invest In An Opportunity!

Hi! My name is Nayan and I'm 9 years old. On January 1st 2018, I am running my first 5K race. I'm using my run to raise funds for VIBHA, a non-profit organization that benefits underprivileged children in India.  I cannot imagine a kid like me not able to go to school, or play basketball or have enough food to eat.  So, I'm hoping to raise money to help them in my own small way.  Please support my fundraiser!  No amount is too small!  On January 1st, I'm hoping to win a medal in my category for the 5K.  But I'm also hoping that with your help, we can help kids like these through VIBHA.  Thank you so much!!

Did you know that even a year of quality early childhood development participation leads to a higher school readiness levels? This could lead to better learning outcomes in the early primary grades. However many children in India are working when they should be attending school. Save the Children reports that there are 33 million children between ages 5-18 who are working and almost one-third of the school going age (under 15) form this group of child labors. On the global front, this makes India the home to one of the highest concentrations of child workers!

But on the brighter side, the average annual dropout rate in elementary and primary level decreased in 2014-2015 as compared to 2013-2015 according to the National University of Educational Planning and Administration.  

It is heartening to see the awareness increasing around the importance of education among the lesser privileged society and Vibha’s core goal is to Educate, Empower and Enable children to remain motivated to receive the quality education they deserve – which is their birthright!
