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. Develop various Bala tools in the classroom keeping in mind their audience of studentsProvide all necessary furniture eg desks, benches in the classroomRefurbishment takes place of 1 classroom for schools with less than 300 pupils, 2 classrooms for those with above 300.

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 Kishan and Bhavisha Pankhania's Kilimanjaro Climb for One Kind Act:We’re incredibly fortunate to have been born and raised in the UK — with access not only to life’s essentials, but also to education, opportunity, healthcare, and the freedom to shape our own futures. Much of this is thanks to the sacrifices and foundations built by our parents and families.But not every child is given the same start in life.Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to visit the government-run Balgokulam orphanage in Vadodara, Gujarat. During our visit, we witnessed first-hand the incredible work being done to care for abandoned and vulnerable children — providing them with safety, shelter, food, medical support, and the chance of a brighter future.The experience stayed with us.To help support this cause, we’ve decided to take on the challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro — pushing ourselves physically and mentally to raise funds that can directly improve the lives of children who deserve the opportunity to dream, grow, and build a future of their own.Our original vision was to raise £20,000, which would contribute towards:• New bunk beds for the children• Mosquito nets to improve safety and wellbeing• Renovation and installation of new bathroom facilities within the dormitoriesAs this is our very first fundraising campaign together, we are starting with an initial target of £13,000.This amount would cover the full adoption and care costs for 10 children throughout their entire stay at the orphanage until adulthood — giving 10 children not just shelter, but a real childhood, stability, care, and an opportunity for a better future.The costs are approximately:• 1 year sponsorship of a child = £130• Full sponsorship through to adulthood = £1,300This climb will not be easy. It will require months of training, resilience, and determination. But every step we take will be driven by one purpose — creating meaningful change in the lives of vulnerable children.We’re proud to be partnering with One Kind Act, where every penny donated goes directly towards supporting those who need it most.If you’re able to support us, no matter how big or small the donation, we would be incredibly grateful.Together, we can help give children the safety, care, and opportunities every child deserves.Bhav and Kish x”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.

And to make things interesting, we’ve added a little friendly competition — who can raise the most funds!But jokes aside, what will truly keep me going every step of the way is knowing the real impact your donations will have.Your generosity helps provide:        •       Hot meals for the elderly        •       Essential daily necessities for families in need        •       Safe, clean school environments for children        •       Nutritional meals for pregnant womenThe list is endless — but the outcome is simple: real change, real lives impacted.Every donation, no matter how small or big, helps us move closer to a kinder, more compassionate world. Together, we really can make a difference.So please, if you can, make a pledge and support our Everest journey for One Kind Act ❤️Thank you for believing, supporting, and spreading kindness.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.

One Kind Act are proud to announce Kabir Bhogal's 'Trek to Everest Base Camp for One Kind Act' Challenge:Having my own daughter, who turned two in December, has shown me just how important early education is — not just for children, but for parents too. The preschools I’m raising funds for through One Kind Act will provide a safe, nurturing space where children can learn, grow, and thrive. They’ll also offer age-appropriate nutrition from as young as six months, and support pregnant mothers with their own nutritional needs — giving families the strongest possible start.Trekking to Everest Base Camp will be no easy feat — 12 days of basic living, long climbs, and thin air will push me far beyond my comfort zone. But knowing that every step I take helps to build a Preschool Centre for families in need will keep me going all the way to Base Camp.I’d love your support in helping make a real difference. Every donation, big or small, will go directly towards giving children a brighter, healthier start in life.Together, we can make every step count. ❤️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.
