18 June 2024: Smartsters, a children’s furniture brand known for fostering creativity and development through its products, is proud to announce a collaborative effort with Umeed Foundation, a Wadgaon, Maharashtra-based NGO dedicated to empowering underprivileged girls. This partnership aims to bridge the educational gap and equip young girls with the resources they need to excel in their academic journeys.

Smartsters has generously donated a substantial number of study desks and chairs to the Umeed Foundation’s impactful Project Kshitiz. This initiative tackles various challenges faced by underprivileged girls seeking education. The initiative is designed to boost confidence, dismantle financial barriers, and enhance academic preparation for girls. The project fosters a supportive environment that builds confidence in these young girls, provides crucial academic support and guidance, and removes financial barriers by ensuring girls have access to necessary educational resources.

Smartsters’ donation of study furniture directly addresses a critical need identified by this initiative and bridges the need for essential resources. Having a dedicated study space is essential for focused learning and fosters a sense of ownership over their education. This supportive environment will empower the girls to thrive academically and pave the way for a brighter future.

Jai Mishra, cofounder of the Umeed Foundation, expressed immense gratitude for Smartsters’ contribution, saying, “This generous donation of study furniture is truly transformative. A dedicated study space is paramount for focused learning, and Smartsters’ contribution will significantly impact the lives of our students. Their commitment to education perfectly aligns with our mission at the Umeed Foundation.  Together, we can create a future brimming with opportunity for these girls.”

This collaboration between Smartsters and the Umeed Foundation is a testament to the power of community in shaping a brighter future for underprivileged girls. Smartsters is committed to fostering a love of learning in every child, and this collaboration with the Umeed Foundation is a significant step towards achieving that goal.
