#LetsMakeOurKidsSmile

A historical Foundation campaign focused on school access, learning environments, nutrition, dignity, and the right of children in India to pursue an education.

Timeline: 2010s education initiatives

01

Giving children back their right to education

The campaign argued that education is more than reading, writing, and arithmetic. School can provide communication skills, friendships, health and safety knowledge, confidence, and a path toward a future a child can imagine.

It focused on barriers that can push children out of school: hunger, inadequate classrooms and learning materials, missing sanitation facilities, menstrual-health barriers, poverty, and child labor.

02

Improving the conditions for learning

The campaign supported efforts to upgrade schools, supply classrooms, improve facilities, and create environments where teachers could teach and students could concentrate. It also emphasized that an empty stomach and an unsafe or poorly equipped school can make learning far harder.

The surviving Foundation campaign record describes support across 46 schools in India; school-level documentation remains under review.

  • Classroom and school infrastructure improvements.
  • Learning resources and technology access.
  • Nutrition and food support connected to school participation.
  • Sanitation and menstrual-health support that helps girls remain in school.

03

The Enactus H.R. College relationship

The campaign included work with Enactus H.R. College and the Inaayat initiative focused on dignity, self-esteem, menstrual-health education, and reusable hygiene supplies for girls and women.

The education section includes a dedicated Enactus showcase with more about the initiative and its purpose.

04

From the campaign to current education work

The current education section carries the mission forward through the Pace University scholarship, alumni stories, school initiatives, and AI-era learning opportunities.

Supporters can review the specific program pages before choosing to donate, mentor, or propose an education partnership.
