Empowering 210 Children in Yavat’s Zilla Parishad Schools

April 2024, was a month of giving and empowering as the Giving for Good Foundation held a special event in the rural areas of Yavat, Maharashtra. As a part of our campaign, ‘School Supplies for Every Child,’ our team visited three Zilla Parishad schools in Yavat to distribute essential school supplies to 210 excited students. Brand-new school bags filled with water bottles, colorful notebooks, pencils and more brought huge smiles to the children's faces. These everyday items that we often take for granted promise a more fun and enriching way to learn. Seeing their happy faces showed us how much even small gifts can mean.

The distribution was made possible by Giving for Good’s hardworking Goodness Officers, who planned the event and made it welcoming for everyone. The principals, teachers, and the entire Yavat community joined in with open arms. It was a true team effort, with the teachers volunteering their time and the Anganwadi volunteers creating a caring space for the young students.The event showed the strong community spirit in Yavat which was also covered by local news outlets only further emphasizing our message. As the children held onto their new school supplies with wide grins, a wave of hope and thankfulness filled the air. Each notebook and pencil held the promise of a brighter future, filled with learning and opportunity. Our Goodness Officers successfully empowered 93 students at Yavat Station School, 43 at Khutwad Wasti School, and 74 at Mankoba Wadi School.



This was among the seven distribution drives we conducted over March 2024. In total, we were able to bring the joy of education empowerment to 509 marginalized children across schools in Pune, and we aim to reach thousands more.Our mission at the Giving for Good Foundation is to provide rural students with the resources they need to get a quality education. With school supplies as a starting point, we dream of ultimately providing anything that a student might need to pursue the education they deserve. This drive was another step closer to that dream.
