A lot of children in rural areas dropout of school due to lack of support/ economic difficulties. We believe that every child, irrespective of their economic background has the right to education. Back to School, shortly known as BTS, is a campaign to bring the those such children to back to school.

About the event
For most of us, getting ready to go back to school is an exciting time. We get new clothes, new shoes, and all new school supplies. Unfortunately, for many children in our country, that is not their experience. Many children don't have the money to buy anything new for school. They are lucky if they have an older sibling who may be able to pass down uniforms or possibly shoes. If not, some children have to go without, and backpacks and school supplies are definitely out of the question.
Our Back to School program provides a new backpack and school supplies to the needy children who would otherwise go without. We also work with the guidance counselors at schools to identify truly needy children who need additional assistance for a varierty of things such as school uniforms and school shoes.
