"When
you educate a child, you empower a generation. When you support a student's
dream, you help shape a brighter future for society."In the rural villages
around Pothnal, Raichur District, many children from poor families struggle to
continue their education due to a lack of basic school supplies. Most of their
parents are daily wage laborers, migrant workers, agricultural laborers, or
domestic helpers who find it difficult to meet even their family's daily needs.
To support these deserving children, Vimukti Pothnal on 21st June 2026
distributed educational kits to 117 students studying in Government Schools from
5th to 10th Standard. Each kit included notebooks, school bags, uniforms, shoes,
and other essential learning materials. Beneficiaries were selected through home
visits and recommendations from school headmasters to ensure support reached the
neediest students. The educational kits not only reduced the financial burden on
families but also motivated children to continue their studies with confidence
and hope. Parent counseling sessions were also conducted to emphasize the
importance of education and prevent school dropouts. "Every child deserves a
chance to learn, dream, and succeed. Together, we are making that dream
possible." Thank you for investing in the future of our children.
In
observance of International Child Labour Day, Vimukti Pothnal, organized a
series of awareness rallies in the villages of Eralgaddi and Malkapura on 12th,
13th, and 14th June 2026. The rallies were conducted with the powerful message:
“Every Child Belongs in School, Not at Work.” Children enthusiastically marched
through the villages carrying placards and banners displaying anti-child labour
messages. They raised slogans advocating children's rights, education, and a
childhood free from exploitation. The rallies attracted the attention of local
residents and effectively spread awareness throughout the communities. As part
of the program, Mr. Charlie, Vimukti Staff Member, led the children in an
Anti-Child Labour Pledge, inspiring them to remain committed to their education
and to stand against child labour in all its forms. The rallies witnessed active
participation from Vimukti staff members, school teachers, and children, making
the initiative a strong community effort towards eliminating child labour and
promoting education. Together, let us build a future where every child is safe,
educated, protected, and free from child labour.
