I'm a firm believer that if one dreams, one can work towards achieving it. My mother and founder of Vipla Foundation (Save the Children India), Mrs. Vipula Kadri, was a testament to this. She envisioned making India a child-friendly nation 36 years ago, and today, Vipla Foundation has brought happiness and hope to over 520,000 women and children. I am inspired by her and aim to follow in her footsteps to ensure children are provided care and education as early as possible to lay a strong foundation for their future.
Appeal
90% of our brain development happens by the age of 6 making this period the most rapid stage of development. Stimulating a child’s brain from 0-6 is crucial for the development of language, cognitive and physical, socio-emotional and other skills even more so for children with developmental delays, disabilities or growing up in impoverished environments.
There are over 9 lakh out-of-school elementary grade-level children in India. Vipla Foundation seeks to bridge this gap by reaching 1 lakh children in the next 5 years. This year we aim to raise Rs.1.6 crores to reach 12,900 additional children.
