Save the Children associates with Saamanjasya- novel initiative of VGSOM, IIT Kharagpur, to encourage youth participation in EVERY ONE campaign.
Save the Children’s biggest campaign, EVERY ONE is a significant endeavour given the enormity of the problem in India where nearly 2 million children die before their 5th birthday – the highest anywhere in the world. The campaign gives EVERY ONE a unique opportunity to change the future for millions of the poorest and most marginalised children.
The three day event (19-21 March ’10) will bring together Students from diverse backgrounds - Law, Humanities, Engineering as well as Management streams will be participating in the event.
Through Samanjasya the EVERY ONE campaign will go to the campus seeking youth to support the effort to saving children’s lives and recruit campaigners for the cause.
Save the Children has provided its live case study on shocking infant and child mortality in India to be solved by the students participating in the event.
Make your voice heard and be a part of change.
The Aviva Great Wall of Education
A five day book donation drive that was activated across Delhi and the NCR region through drop boxes placed at schools, corporate and residential apartments. The event was launched on National Education Day, November 11, 2009 at Ansal Plaza, Khel Gaon Marg.
Children from 300 schools, families, individuals, publishing houses and the Ministry of Education contributed to the collection of 1,25,000 books which have been sent to 6 states including Delhi, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Orissa. Over 1,70,000 children will have access to these books.
“This is a great initiative that Aviva has undertaken which will translate into hundreds of children from the most marginalized communities having a chance at education. Providing education to the poorest child from the poorest community is the best way of ensuring that the child has access to life opportunities that he/she otherwise may not have. People have been calling us every day, publishers, institutions, individuals, offering to give us books. Aviva has indeed triggered a truly noble humanitarian initiative.”
- Thomas Chandy, CEO, Save the Children India
EVERY ONE
2 million children in India die every year from easily preventable diseases. A child dies in India every 15 seconds. Each one leaves a heartbroken family .Which of these children have a right to survive? EVERYONE. It’s shameful and unjustifiable that in 2009 more than 9 million children will die before they reach their fifth birthday — over 20% of them in India.
Save the Children decided to take this cause to the people of India. This inculded educating them abou the cause and garnering support. A 3 day activity was conduted across various properties of DLF Foundation in Delhi and NCR and Inorbit Malls in Mumbai in which a huge wall was setup for people to come and mark their Thumb impressions.
We received over 14,000 Thumb Impressions with messages from people across these two cities followed by numerous enquiries with regards to this drive in days to come. This surly tells us that Save the Children and the people of India are in this cause together to help our country make the 46% annual reduction in the deaths of Under 5 children to meet the Millennium Development Goal 4 by 2015.
