Alisha Malhotra, in conjunction with One Kind Act and YUVA Unstoppable, is delighted to be able to continue with her Bright Start Program with Improved Lavatories, Handwashing  Facilities, Smart Classrooms and Scholarships'Seven years ago, after suffering a stroke in my mid-twenties, I had to put my teaching career on hold. The work I use to do empowered children to stand on their own two feet. More recently, I returned to education. In partnership with One Kind Act and Yuva Unstoppable, I launched Bright Start - An Educational Scholarship Programme to help some of the brightest but most marginalised children in India. This programme of education, mentoring and support has helped children from 15 years old, through to university and then their first job. It has given them an opportunity they never dreamt possible, that is to pursue academic aspirations and break out of the poverty cycle they find themselves in. I have now enhanced this Programme to allow you to also consider other aspects of the learning experience for so many poor children of India.' Alisha MalhotraBRIGHT START In partnership with Yuva Unstoppable, One Kind Act see various aspects of helping children to gain a Bright Start in their personal journey in Education. SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME FOR 2 YEARSDONATION AMOUNT - £1,000The Problem? Only up to 50% of India’s children go to school, of which 71% come from impoverished backgrounds but who invariably have to drop out of school by the age of 15Why?For reasons totally out of their control - their family poverty, child exploitation, forced marriages, poor teaching, lack of school meals…this sad list is endless. The Impact? This drop-out pattern means these children never get out of their poverty cycle and cannot aspire to dreams they are capable of fulfilling. What?This Bright Start Scholarship Programme will provide access to further education to the smartest children in India's most economically challenged families; children who are carefully selected by YUVA Unstoppable via a rigorous selection process that takes into consideration their academic ability and their social economic background (family income less £3,000 per annum). The 2-year scholarship will support the meritorious but needy students who have got 90% or above at 10th Grade (age 14) to study further in 11th and 12th Grades (age 15-16) at a good govt or semi-govt school in the field of their choice eg Medicine, Engineering, Commerce or Arts. They will get all the support they need to meet their educational expenses and academic demands to ensure they score well at end of 12th Grade and to secure admission in a reputed College. These two years are deemed to be the most crucial to facilitate progression into college and therefore, is recognised as needing the greatest support. Additionally, the expense for coaching for the entrance examinations required for medical & engineering students are quite high and such students are unable to afford these expenses. Further monetary support is required to prevent drop-out of students from 10th to 11th Grade. Empowering students at this stage is seen to have a vast impact on the overall socio-economic development of each state and ultimately, the entire country. With a holistic and well-rounded model of providing scholarships, mentorship and personal/career development through regular feedback and school reporting during these two years, these students will be able to progress onto their chosen careers with greater certainty and ultimately, give back to their own communities as they establish their careers. How?With your support of £1,000, we will be able to provide a child of 15 years of age with 2 years of education, mentoring and support to ensure they achieve almost guaranteed entrance into college. Your donation will not be handed over to the beneficiary but will be handled by YUVA over the 2 years to pay for all educational expenses of admission to college, tuition fees, stationery, textbooks, college projects and field trips. And whilst your donation will be directly supporting the full educational needs of the child, our partnership will ensure that the families get any financial support they require to see through their child’s education. In addition to your donation, we offer you an opportunity to effectively adopt your child and get to know them personally through modern technology, mentor them to help them grow and inspire them to dream and realise their ambitions. You will be regularly appraised of their performance and achievements.Education is a human right and a public responsibility. Please help us to help to change the trajectory of the lives of talented children, to invest in a more sustainable future for them and to help them give back to their community in a way that simply was not possible before. SCHOOL TRANSFORMATION PROJECTOne Kind Act has partnered with Yuva Unstoppable for their core program of Renovation & Refurbishment of existing Government Schools in India. Sadly, of the 1.3 million government schools in India, 72% of these schools have some form of toilet facilities for girls but almost 85% of them are non-functional, lack privacy and security for girls. Likewise, government schools in around 60% of rural areas have not been connected digitally in India. This stark gap is becoming even more apparent post the pandemic.YUVA Unstoppable has a Vision to transform 10,000 schools in India through the intervention of new & improved sanitation facilities for all and through the medium of providing digital education for children. So far, Yuva Unstoppable has already transformed 3000 schools reaching over 6 million beneficiaries spread across 14 states of India via better toilets & sanitation facilities, improved drinking water areas, scholarships, smart classrooms, value-based trainings, behaviour change sessions etc. The aim is to overall enhance and improve the ambience of the school and make schools a better learning space. SMART CLASSROOMS IN 1 SCHOOLDONATION AMOUNT - £3,000Yuva identify government schools that want Smart Classroom facilities in all the major Indian states of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Odisha, West Bengal, and Madya Pradesh. As part of this initiative, they carry out the following:Refurbish classrooms to facilitate a digital education setup.

Girls do not feel safe in using such dreadful facilities, which means they often abstain from school, particularly during menstruation.  As part of this initiative, Yuva completely transform the drinking water and dish washing areas of a school and newly install a toilet block of 6WCs for girls and a toilet block of 12 urinals for boys for every 300 pupils. They also undertake all necessary painting/colour work associated with this project.  Maintenance visits and BCC sessions take place at regular intervals.

One Kind Act are proud to announce the PreLoved Fashion Event:                                                                                                                                                              Slowing Down Fast Fashion: A Story of ChangeIn today’s world, fast fashion dominates. Cheap clothing is just a click away, fuelling a consumption rate that’s unprecedented. I'm Aarti, the founder of The Space Curator. I specialise in helping clients organise their homes, making what they own more visible to save both waste and money. Through assisting many clients in decluttering their wardrobes, I've noticed a striking trend: beautiful clothing, often in near-new condition, languishing unseen at the back of closets.This realisation sparked a vision. With preloved fashion platforms like Vinted gaining popularity, I saw the potential to bring this movement further into the public consciousness. I teamed up with Zamiha, CEO and founder of Recommend Asian, and together we conceptualised the Preloved Fashion Event. Our purpose was not just to promote sustainable fashion but also to support a worthy cause—London’s Community Kitchen.Upon meeting Taz Khan and his dedicated volunteer team, we immediately felt aligned with their mission. Their commitment to Zero Waste and Zero Hunger perfectly complements our goal of reducing fashion industry waste. Did you know that the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions? Moreover, extending the life of clothing by just nine months can reduce environmental impact by 20-30%. Furthermore, 95% of disposed clothing could be recycled or upcycled, underscoring the importance of preloved fashion.Join us in supporting this cause. How it Works● Bring your preloved Women’s Eastern and Western donations  (excellent condition &  laundered) to The Recommended Asian Hub● Drop off dates !Between 4-22nd November Mon-Fri 9am-5pm ● Join us to pick up a bargain from as little as £5 on 24th November 11am-5pm (remember to bring a bag)Location detailsThe RA HubThe Northwood ClubChestnut AvenueHA6-1HRWith insightful talks from our guest stylist Mina Kumari, The Body Confidence Coach, and expert wardrobe organisation tips from me, Aarti, The Space Curator, we promise an inspiring day.Together, we can look great, feel confident, and champion a more sustainable future.

One Kind Act are proud to announce our Christmas Appeal 2024:As the festive season draws near, we are reminded of the message of goodwill to all at this joyous time. However, for many it will just be a daily reminder of the hunger they feel each day . Some will dread the season as the temperature drops and they feel the reality of being homeless in the cold days and wintery nights. For many parents, a sense of lack sets in as they struggle to give their children the simplest of gifts. By supporting charity London’s Community Kitchen, One Kind Act have continued year-in and year-out to provide for food bags and Christmas holiday hunger provision for families as well as presents for the most deprived children in our communities. Moreso, through charities NishkamSwat and OFFL, who both work with the homeless all through the year, we have provided for warm clothes and essential winter toiletries, both of which are much needed by the destitute out on the streets. One Kind Act once again wishes to support these three charities. We are hoping for your support. Every penny you donate here will be granted to them so that they can support the most vulnerable communities. Isn’t this the true meaning of Christmas and what we really want for Christmas ? PLEASE PLEDGE on this page. Every penny you donate really counts. About One Kind ActOne Kind Act Changes Communities and lives of others globally who suffer as a result of Poverty of Health, Nutrition and Education and may have Fallen Through The Net of the larger charities.
