We are DAN's GREEN MILE Team, a joint venture between the Differently Abled Network [DAN] and the Green Staff Club, our team is composed of 8 members of different countries and background but united by one single objective which is to support disadvantaged girls in India
For this "extra mile" challenge, we decided to support Nanhi Kali, a non-profit organization (Nanhi Kali refers to "a little bud" and is a symbolic reference here to a young girl child) which provides disadvantaged girls, in under-served locations across India, with access to quality education and helps them complete their schooling.
For this "extra mile" challenge, as
a team, we will give our best by walking, swimming, hiking, running,
cycling, in order to accumulate as many km as possible!
Every 1
km will contribute 1 EUR to the charity.
But for this "extra mile" challenge, we will first need to reach a minimum required funds before 31st August. We need you, we need your help and your support to reach this target.
Your
donation will help
Nanhi Kali to provide every girl with a
year-round support including academic support, access to a
cutting-edge EdTech learning platform, trained women tutors, a
professionally designed sports program, school supplies and hygiene
material.
For
1 EUR of donation, Socgen will match our
donation to
Nanhi Kali
