Urgent Need
School Bags for Children
In the remote village of Shiraswadi, children walk long distances to attend school, often carrying their books in plastic bags or worn-out sacks. Their parents, employed as daily wage laborers, cannot afford proper school bags—adding yet another barrier to their education.
Many children make do with torn, outdated bags with broken zippers or missing straps, making it difficult to carry and protect their school materials. During the rainy season, books often get soaked or damaged, affecting their ability to learn and keep up in class. This lack of a basic necessity not only impacts their studies but also chips away at their confidence, making them feel left out among their peers.
Yet, despite these hardships, their enthusiasm for learning remains strong. A simple school bag can bring organization, protection, and a renewed sense of dignity—helping them focus on what truly matters: their dreams and their education.
Give a child the gift of learning. A school bag can be more than just a bag—it can be a step toward a brighter future.
