Over the
last one year, Kareena Kapoor has been supporting UNICEF India in the
area of quality education. She has done some key public service
statements to promote child friendly schools and the need to include
secondary education under RTE. These have been used extensively as inter
personal communication materials for communities across India.
Kareena
visited Rajasthan and Maharashtra to see for herself, child friendly
schools in remote parts of these states and was inspired by spaces where
children were full of joy while interacting with teachers, where
children felt safe and secure and where interactive and creative tools
were used to ensure that children are happy and learning.
During
her visits, she also met with girls from KGBV (Kasturba Gandhi
Mahavidyala Schools) and understood their aspiration to continue
education even at the secondary level. Kareena has lent her voice to
advocate for secondary education, especially for adolescent girls above
14 years of age, so that they have opportunities to continue learning
and equipping themselves with life skills and prevent marriage before 18
years of age.
UNICEF
India has collaborated with renowned personalities from sports, music
and the performing and film arts. As a supporter Kareena has joined a
distinguished list of well known and respected personalities who serve
on behalf of the India’s children. She will reiterate through her work
with UNICEF India, that every child has the right to joyful learning
through child friendly schools.
Over
the years, UNICEF India will work closely with Kareena Kapoor to visit
UNICEF supported programs across the country, advocating on behalf of
UNICEF with high-level government officials and participation in
fundraising and advocacy events.
