210 Students Received Backpacks Full of Hope??

Welcome to The Goodness Journal, your passport to a world brimming with compassion and positive change. Every week, our team at the Giving for Good Foundation uncovers a heartwarming, true story that illuminates the remarkable impact of kindness and charity. These tales serve as a testament to the incredible power we all possess to make a difference, one act of goodness at a time.

It all started in December 2023

Last Christmas, over 300 employees at iResearch Services played secret santas for more than 75 children from low income homes.

The goal? Provide essential school supplies to kids deprived of basics like books and pencils that eventually hinder their education and future opportunities.

But why school supplies?

After surveying schools educating 9,100 students, we realized a major barrier to quality education was the lack of basic learning resources.

In fact, 83% of the children lack basic learning materials, affecting dropout rates. Therefore, we developed a holistic solution, beginning with school supplies!

Fast forward to April, 2024

Our Goodness Crew organized a drive, distributing brand-new school bags full of notebooks, pencils, water bottles, and more to 210 eager students across 3 Zilla Parishad schools in Yavat, Maharashtra.

To say the least, it was a community effort! The principals, teachers, and the entire Yavat village came together, welcoming us with open arms. The local Anganwadi volunteers went above and beyond to create a warm, caring space for the children. The event's impact went far beyond the backpacks and was covered by five local newspapers!

These smiles are a result of just one distribution drive. And here at the Giving for Good Foundation, we aim to reach thousands of such children with our bags of hope and opportunities. Want to witness the joy first-hand?
