Kidpower’s Girl Child Project provides education scholarships to girl children from poor families where the family is unable to pay the fees or, if the family has more children, the girl child is the first to drop out of school. Besides, often, the education of the girl child is not taken seriously because of the prevalent social and cultural norms. The scholarship helps the girl child to continue her education and complete 10th class.
Kidpower, every year, pays the education fee of Rs.3000 and also provides school uniform, books, bags etc to the children. The project is in consonance with the recently implemented “Right to Education Actâ€_x009d_, which made education till age 14 years a fundamental right and supports the use of private schools to provide education to children from poor background.
Kidpower believes that scholarships for girl children coming from underprivileged families are a sound investment for the future generations. Greenkins too agrees and partnered with Kidpower on this project.
On the occasion of the UN International Day of the Girl Child on Oct 11, 2013, Greenkins has committed to support and promote the cause of girls’ education through The GirlPowercampaign. Greenkins will donate 11% of all sale proceeds to Kidpower’s Girl Child Project that provides education to underprivileged girls. The campaign will run all through Oct 2013. They have invited all their customers to join in and contribute generously towards this campaign. When you shop with Greenkins this month, you don’t just get outstanding products but also a chance to change a girl’s life.
