As we send our kids to in-person instruction, we are very fortunate to live in a country where safety protocols can be strictly followed and our education system provides the necessary means to access education even remotely if needed as it has happened last year.

Unfortunately, this is not the case for many kids in India who live in less than affluent families whose parents' income tide them over a month to month or day-to-day. Organizations like Vibha work to make remote education feasible for these children so they do not lose two years of education before the vaccines become widely available and they can return to classrooms.

I urge you to join me in supporting Vibha to make this possible for many kids to gain access to education in these extraordinary times.

Vibha is committed to bringing together both the public and private sector to strengthen infrastructure and provide mechanisms for sustainable access to education. Through Vibha's model of seed, scale, and grow, our projects, as an example, have helped expand public education programs from 15 to 43,000 schools in one state in India. As a result, this success has now become the template to expand to other states.

We believe that moulding young minds will give them the freedom to choose a better life. 

Every dollar we raise, is another massive step to helping these kids achieve their dreams.
