Diya Campaign 2021

Yasashi Foundation(NGO) is working relentlessly for the education and overall upliftment of the underprivileged children of our society since more than a decade.

From 2020 Yasashi Foundation has initiated a fund raising diya campaign, to provide free education to these children amidst the covid-19 crisis.

The Covid-19 pandemic has been a big blow to education for underprivileged children. These children are facing the biggest challenge as schools have opted for online mode education to fill the gap but most of these children lack digital access to continue with their studies.

To support the education of these children and fight the odds, Yasashi Foundation again organised a Diya Campaign-2021. This years campaign was supported by a good number of people ranging from the volunteers of Yasashi Foundation, the students, teachers and other organisations.

A total of 10500 diyas were painted with the paint provided by Earthful Foundation.

Volunteers (school students) from Delhi also extended their helping hand to the campaign with the initiative taken by Piyasha Kaushik there and they collected a total revenue of Rs 3090.

The campaign turned out to be a successful one and the beautiful diyas were sold in various districts of Assam. The total revenue generated was Rs 115000.

The persistent effort made by Yasashi Foundation was highly appreciated by everyone. The students of Yasashi Education Centre visited the Governor's House and met the First Lady Smt Prem Mukhi Ji. They also got the opportunity to visit Chief Secretary Jishnu Barua's residence. These oppertunities to visit the dignitaries house's to gift them with diyas and the appreciation and encouragement received in return will work as a motivation booster for the students and Yasashi Foundation as a whole to work with more perseverance and dedication for the future.
