2 years ago when the world came to a standstill and schools announced that online classes were the norm, it didn’t take much time for us to acclimatize to it. Of course, we had to plan from the work front how to WFH, how to engage kids at home, etc. But the thought of how my child will learn wasn’t something that struck most of us. We either had a spare laptop or an iPad or could buy one in no time, so the kids don’t fall back on their classes. What about the children whose parents can’t afford the same?
Even today, when most of our children continue extra-curricular activities and other classes on digital devices to enhance their learning, these children continue to fall behind. Is it fair to them as a society?
“Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world”.
Nelson Mandela
And gone are the days when education was a luxury or a privileged right only to some. Education can no longer be restricted to closed doors. It NEEDS to be FOR ALL. This is the one thing that will help put India on the map if we are going to emerge as a superpower tomorrow.
We at Kidsstoppress are extremely delighted to help spread the word about BYJU’S Education For All initiative at the KSP Awards 2022 event held recently. This is a community-driven initiative that aims to take digital learning to as many children as possible, giving them a chance at remote learning.
The idea is to inspire people to donate smart devices & nominate underserved children from the community to receive BYJU’S premium high-quality learning content for free. How amazing would it be if every single person here- you and I – can create an impact on the education of those around us, those who we love, and those who love and care for us?
Mansi Zaveri, Founder & CEO- Kidsstoppress.com spoke to Mansi Kasliwal, VP- Social Impact Initiatives at BYJU’S at the KSP Awards 2022, to understand more about this initiative. We were delighted to know that more than 5.5 million children have already benefitted from this campaign and the mission is to double it in the next couple of years.
Think of this- you don’t even have to go out of your way to help someone with something so valuable. You only need to click on the link, fill in your details and after finding out a few more details about your device, its condition etc, in a short duration, the team at BYJU’S will equip your device with state-of-the-art learning tools to help a deserving child. Now, that’s the first step to making India a superpower.

At the KSP Awards 2022, we were so happy to announce @byjus_app Education For All initiative and it was a sheer delight to see everyone participate and take their pledge so eagerly. One small step from our end can help change the life of a child- we are in it. How about you?!
You and I can be a part of this noble initiative and it’s not going to cost us anything! Really. The solution is sitting idle in your homes, and you probably never realised it too!
