Hey, how are you? My name is Sakshi Shah and I am one of the five members at Khilti Pari. I am currently studying at the University of Bath in the UK, pursuing a degree in International development with Economics.
I am in charge of the Social Media & Marketing as well as work on Fundraising with Janvi. My role at Khilti Pari entails taking care of our multiple social media platforms, keeping our supporters updated at all steps and planning fundraisers. Personally, I enjoy setting up fundraisers immensely as it allows me to put all my creativity and ideas to life. Being a part of Khilti Pari has taught me some invaluable lessons: teamwork, time management, communicational skills and most importantly gratitude.
Khilti Pari started back in 2017 and the progress we make everyday is what keeps me going. Our team had started working on fundraiser since 2017, but it was only once we went to the villages in Rajasthan that we learnt the real importance of what we are doing. Our mission of changing views on girl’s education went beyond the educational and institutional perspective. The opportunity to meet the girls one on one made us connect on an emotional level. Today, we aim not only to educate them but also put a smile on their faces. The joy on the girls faces and the love and respect they treat us with showed me how grateful I was for everything I have but moreover the responsibility I felt to give them as much as I could in my capacity.
The opportunity to be a part of something like Khilti Pari is one in a million and I hope we can all make a change in the right direction with your help. Thank you!

What our sponsors say'India is a country of beautiful history and culture that has produced some incredible inventions and individuals. But the country faces many issues with a large population living in poverty and educationally disadvantaged. It is especially challenging for the millions of young girls who don't get basic education, don't understand their own rights and hence have little chance to escape the vicious cycle of poverty. The Khilti Pari project attempts to attack this problem at its roots - directly working with the families of such young girls to try and ensure they stay within the educational system - allowing them to have a chance at a better future for themselves and their families. What's especially heartwarming for me is to see youths from my own community here in Antwerp raising funds and taking out time to take on this challenge head on. They are planning to personally travel to these areas at their own cost and work personally with such families. In some ways, they can better help and guide these girls by being closer in age and having a better outlook of options available to young people today. I fully endorse and support these young people and wish them great success in this endeavor.' - Ravi Bhansali, Rosy Blue Group
