School Chale Hum
Let’s Put 4,000 Children Back in School — Where They Belong

What does it take to spark a child’s curiosity?
Sometimes, it’s as simple as a notebook. A pencil. A pair of shoes. A sturdy school bag.

Thousands of children living in Child Care Institutions (CCIs) or from vulnerable communities dream of going to school—but are held back by poverty, trauma, or the lack of even the most basic learning tools.

At Catalysts for Social Action (CSA), we believe that going to school shouldn’t be a privilege—it should be a promise.

That’s why we’ve launched “School Chale Hum,” a campaign to give 4,000 children a strong start to the academic year—and the confidence to stay in school.

What’s in a School Kit?

Each kit is thoughtfully designed to meet the real needs of a growing, curious learner. For just ?1,500 per child, CSA will provide:

• Notebooks, pens, pencils, crayons, and drawing books
• Geometry sets, rulers, exam pads, and school bags
• A4 project papers, chart papers, and colourful craft materials
• Glue, tape, scissors, zigzag cutters, staplers, and more
• Whiteboard markers, dusters, and stationery essentials

This isn’t just a school kit. It’s a child’s chance to learn, grow, and belong.
