Lets make change happen together

Fundraising for Light up a Child’s Life this Holiday Season


After having joined Vibha as a Volunteer in 2013, I have worked in many different capacities. From an Action center coordinator to evaluating and selecting projects for funding to a Project lead for our partner project LeapForWord. At times, it has been frustrating like when very few people showed up to an event which we spent 2-3 months planning. Sometimes, it was downright humiliating, like when we stood in a mall's food court handing out fliers while people were trying to ignore us. However, looking at what Vibha has achieved and knowing that I, in whatever little way, have contributed to it, makes it all worth it. 

Over the past two years, with all your help, we raised INR 40 lakhs and INR 35 lakhs respectively. With your contributions, we partnered with Samavesh in Bhopal, MP to improve the public education in government schools, we funded Alamb’s skill development programs for slum girls in Delhi, took on new projects with Aide-et-Action in Hyderabad to educate migrant workers’ children and helped develop child care centers for street children through Swanirvar near Kolkata, WB.  We also worked directly with over 500 slum children in Mumbai to conduct health camps, counseling sessions and art exhibition.  These are the outcomes YOU made possible.

This year, we want to increase our reach while continuing our impact across India. Vibha enables and empowers ground level NGOs in improving the lives of underprivileged children across India.  We have more than 25+ partners across the country to improve the education, health and training needs of underprivileged children.  In 2020, we hope to partner more with the local, state and central government agencies to make long lasting sustainable impact.

The Prerana story, in partnership with Sikshana, of working with the Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh state governments is the inspiration behind our ambition to take our impact farther.  Across several districts, the program has impacted over 2.3 million children in more than 50,000 schools. These numbers and impact seem immense, don’t they?  When you partner with the government and work through the existing system of education, the reach and impact is indeed enormous.

As you read this, Vibha is in the process of launching Prerana in the states of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. And, we need YOUR help to add the two new states to the Prerna program.

This holiday season, I have pledged to raise 2 lakhs so that we can enable more children to achieve their dreams! I hope you will support me as you have always done.

With Best Regards
