“Gift a Future” Campaign by VeerSurvivors.com Mobilizes Schools and RWAs Across India

India | May 16, 2025

In a heartfelt national initiative, VeerSurvivors.com has launched its latest community engagement drive — “Gift a Future”, a people-powered campaign focused on supporting the education and rehabilitation of martyrs’ children and families of disabled soldiers.

The campaign kicked off on May 1st, aligning with the start of the academic year in many parts of the country. It aims to encourage citizen-led fundraising through schools, housing societies, and local groups, fostering patriotism, awareness, and tangible support for the families of India’s armed forces personnel.

A Grassroots Movement for National Heroes

The “Gift a Future” drive invites:

Schools and colleges to host donation boxes, awareness programs, and student-led fundraising events.
Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) to organize weekend donation drives or community fairs.
Clubs and hobby groups (yoga, cycling, book clubs) to dedicate sessions to fundraising for a Veer family.

In just two weeks, the campaign has seen over 120 institutions and 200+ RWAs register across Delhi, Pune, Bengaluru, Jaipur, and Kochi. Participating schools are also holding interactive sessions on patriotism and the importance of supporting soldiers’ families.

“It’s amazing to see children learning about sacrifice while actively contributing to a Veer child’s future,” said Deepika Sharma, Principal of Lotus Valley School, Noida.

Impact in Numbers (So Far)

₹14.5 lakhs raised in 15 days
25 active campaigns funded (educational scholarships, stationery, tuition)
Over 1,500 children and citizens directly engaged
100+ volunteers facilitating outreach, logistics, and donor follow-ups

VeerSurvivors.com has ensured transparency and simplicity in the donation process. Schools and RWAs receive verified campaign details, posters, QR codes for donations, and real-time impact updates.

Voices from the Ground

One touching story emerged from a housing society in Nagpur that collectively funded the higher education of a martyr’s daughter aspiring to become a nurse. Their contributions were acknowledged with a personal video message from the family, creating a powerful emotional connection between donors and recipients.

“We never imagined our evening gathering could do something so meaningful,” shared Anita Rao, Secretary of GreenView Society.

What’s Next?

“Gift a Future” is just the beginning. VeerSurvivors.com plans to continue rolling out themed campaigns — including “Heal a Hero” (for medical aid) and “Home for the Brave” (for housing repairs) — through 2025, with active participation from civic groups.

“When citizens come together, small efforts create big impact,” said Rahul Mehta, co-founder of VeerSurvivors. “This drive proves we don’t need to be soldiers to serve the nation.”
