Students Help Raise Funds For Leprosy Treatment In Tribal Communities

Over 500 students from Grades 6 to 9 of EuroSchool Thane joined hands for a noble cause dedicated to improving the health and social status of people affected by leprosy. The students raised Rs 5 lakh through a fundraiser program that will be shared with Alert India, an NGO recognised by the Government of Maharashtra, to generate awareness around leprosy among the tribal communities of Karjat and Khalapur in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.  

The fundraising initiative lasted for five days from 16th January 2023 to 19th January 2023 was led by the principal of the school, Dr. Jyotsna Mayadas, who believes that "it is essential to reach out to the less fortunate people around us to build a better world."
