Did you know that more than 40% of children in India drop out of school before reaching eighth grade? That’s two out of every five students. Many of these millions of children live below the poverty line and drop out due to circumstances beyond their control — such as discrimination, gender inequality, or lack of family support.
Share & Care Kids4Kids, an initiative hosted for students by students, has a vision to help thousands of these children get the education we take for granted here in America.
Meet the Kids
The program is composed of students 13 to 18 years old who want to participate in fun events while helping those who are less fortunate. With the motto “One Child for One Child,” we aim to create a community of children who care, and encourage all kids in this age group to help us reach our goal. Below are the names, positions, and ages of the students currently serving in the Kids2Kids leadership committee.

Kids4Kids supports Share & Care’s Educate 2 Success Signature Program, which uplifts underprivileged rural and tribal children who’ve dropped out of school by providing them with support and resources to complete their education. Ultimately, these resources can help needy children break the cycle of poverty for themselves and their families.
