Husco’s Happiness drive laid the foundation of delightful schooling in 11 zilla parishad schools across Talegaon, Pune. We along with HUSCO and The Hope Foundation brought joy to 1156 students by sharing daily usage educational resources like school bags, dictionaries, water bottles to exciting sports gear like shoes and bicycles. Happiness Drive laid the foundation for delightful schooling as children returned to physical school after two years. Happiness drive has provided adequate educational and co-curricular resources to improve the retention rate among school students and given them an opportunity to experience holistic learning and growth.

“Our school has 90% of the children from remote and hilly tribal communities. At present, 38 children are studying in the school. The parents are financially unstable and struggle to provide their children with the necessary school supplies.
Happiness Drive made valuable contributions to these children’s education by providing them with good quality and useful educational resources. This initiative has helped in increasing the attendance and enrollment of students in the school.
Over the years, students came barefoot to school. Through Happiness drive, We along with HUSCO and Hope Foundation, provided good quality shoes to the students. In the summer and rainy season, traveling to school becomes challenging for students who stay far from the school. Providing a cycle to students has helped and made their travel very easy.
For giving special attention to our remote and neglected school by visiting the school, interacting with the children and taking care of their needs, we are thankful for Happiness Drive.”
