This is what he has to say......"Support me on my Mumbai to Goa Cycling Challenge in January 2023 – on behalf of the amazing charitable work of One Kind Act to help accelerate the educational life chances of children so that they can prosper and create a more prosperous futureI have been part of a group of like-minded friends who bike ride regularly over the past fifteen years and undertake cycling challenges in support of good causes. In January 2023, I will be riding with a new group of friends on a journey of over 350 km from Mumbai to Goa over 5 days to help raise much needed funds to assist those less fortunate. We all know the benefits of cycling in terms of general health, the environment and mental well-being. For others, whether living in poorer communities in India or Africa, the provision of much needed education facilities and education tools, is a lifeline – whether it is because it involves a long walk or a hard cycle ride to get to school.The charities that One Kind Act support provide valuable educational opportunities in these disadvantaged communities and help children find their own road to a brighter life.Please support me in raising at least £5,000 for my challenge ride from Mumbai to Goa. One Kind Act will ensure that every £ of your donation goes to the end cause. Believe in the Power to the Pedal and help pave a better road for some children. Thank You - Kaushik"

Mona Bhogal is delighted to be hosting and participating in the Mumbai to Goa Bike Ride on behalf of One Kind Act. This is what she has to say......"Turning 50 this year made me want to do something to mark this milestone! I have been training really hard to reach my goal that I set at the beginning of the year, but wanted more, something completely out of my comfort zone. Mumbai to Goa bike ride approx 500km over 5 days….could I do it? I hadn’t ridden a bike for over 30 years, but encouraged by fellow cyclists who were up for the challenge I agreed to take part! It’s not going to be easy but knowing each mile I ride is helping children in India get an education in a clean and safe environment with interactive technology is enough of a reason to push myself to carry on. I hope you will support me on this challenge and be a part of my journey."

Alisha Malhotra's Bright Start Scholarship Programme
03 Jan 2021
Alisha Malhotra, in conjunction with One Kind Act and YUVA Unstoppable, is delighted to announce her Bright Start Scholarship Programme:'Five years ago, after suffering a stroke, I had to put my teaching career on hold. The work I did empowered children to stand on their own two feet. Five years on, I'm returning to education. In partnership with One Kind Act and Yuva Unstoppable, I'm launching Bright Start - An Educational Scholarship Programme to help some of the brightest but most marginalised children in India. Our 6-year programme of education, mentoring and support will help children from 15 years old, through to university and then their first job. This life-changing opportunity will not only help our little heroes but will provide a sustainable solution to helping their own communities in the long term. More than donating money, we are offering you an opportunity to adopt a child for six years. You can get to know them personally, help them grow and inspire them to dream……and together, we can build India's future leaders.' Alisha Malhotra The Cycle of PovertyThe 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. The Solution? Alisha Malhotra Bright Start Scholarrship ProgrammeBright Start The Bright Start Scholarship Programme provides 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). With your support of £1,500 (equivalent to only £250 per year) and a top up grant of up to £500 from One Kind Act and Yuva Unstoppable, we will be able to provide a child from 15 years old with 6 years of education, mentoring and support through university to their first job.Your donation will not be handed over to the beneficiary but will be handled by YUVA over the 6 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.How to Donate Sponsor a Child£1500 from your group of family or friends to sponsor a child for 6 years of further educationSelect Sponsor a Child aboveGeneral SupportAny smaller amount to help support ancillary costs of improving upon their educational experience.

War in Ukraine Appeal
07 Mar 2022 - 07 Dec 2022
One Kind Act announce our War in Ukraine Appeal.A shock wave has swept across the world at the news of Russia’s unforgivable invasion into Ukraine. A humanitarian crisis is unfolding as hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians reluctantly flee their homeland for the fear of losing their lives. Neighbouring European countries such as Poland, Romania and the UK are doing their level best to accommodate these helpless refugees; so many are just mothers and children as the fathers stay back to fight their war. Food, shelter and clothing will be the basic immediate needs. We are working with our credible charity partners, some of whom are already working on the ground, to provide emergency relief. We will distribute to them the funds raised to buy essentials as the need arises. Your donation can help provide the life-saving support needed right now and in the weeks and months to come.Anyone who wishes to help us to help these unfortunate people, PLEASE DONATE HERE as your act of kindness.Thank you 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.

I would like to help change the lives of these children with a sustainable solution that will also help their communities for years to come.
