Marching for Education: Children Lead Fundraising Street March

Children and Staff Unite for a Cause

March 2019 Community Action Report

In March 2019, Being A Woman demonstrated the power of collective action by organizing a vibrant street march involving the dedicated students and staff of Maulana Azad School. The event was designed to raise both crucial funds and community awareness, ensuring the continued growth and sustainability of the school’s inclusive educational mission.

Raising Voices and Building Hope

Led by excited children and committed educators, the march wound its way through the local streets, drawing attention to the school’s work with special needs and socially excluded children. Placards, chants, and upbeat spirits inspired onlookers and encouraged neighbors to support the school’s life-changing programs.

More than Just Fundraising

While the primary goal was to secure funds for daily operations and future expansion, the march also served as a powerful opportunity to:

• Increase local visibility for Maulana Azad School’s mission.
• Empower participating children with pride and self-advocacy skills.
• Involve parents, community members, and local businesses in the drive for educational access and inclusion.

Sustaining the Dream

The street march exemplifies the school’s ethos: progress through participation, awareness through unity, and hope through action. Funds raised during the event went directly towards educational materials, classroom resources, and the overall enrichment of children’s learning experiences.

Being A Woman extends heartfelt gratitude to everyone—students, staff, and donors—who walked alongside us in this meaningful journey. Together, we move closer to a future where every child receives the education and support they deserve.
