Emirates, the world's largest international airline, has taken a step to support education in India by donating 400 special edition school bags from its 'Aircrafted by Emirates' collection to Smile Foundation. This initiative aims to assist underprivileged children with essential supplies for their schooling.
The donation aligns with India's ongoing efforts to improve its educational infrastructure and resources. The backpacks, filled with stationery and learning materials, are intended to provide practical support for students associated with Smile Foundation. The organization focuses on creating safe educational environments for disadvantaged youths.
Mohammad Sarhan, Vice President of Emirates for India, emphasized the importance of education as a fundamental right. He stated: “Education is a fundamental right. In line with our support for UN Sustainable Development Goal number 4, focused on quality education, we are dedicated to ensuring that children, regardless of their circumstances, have access to the resources needed to learn and create an equitable future for themselves.”
