Round Table India

This project was a component of the 'Freedom Through Education' fundraising program at Nyenrode New Business School. Our objective was to raise a substantial amount of funds through self-initiative to aid in the construction of educational facilities in India. 

As part of the initiative, our team visited Calcutta to witness firsthand how the funds were allocated.

Freedom Through Education

The program aimed to raise funds through various avenues to construct educational facilities in India, including auctions, events, sponsorships, partnerships, and more. The course was divided into groups of four, and each team competed against the others to raise the most funds possible.

In my group, we had a particular interest in website development. As such, we created a website inspired by the Kickstarter platform, which featured rewards for those who donated to the cause. Additionally, we partnered with local clothing shops to offer discounts to those who contributed.

Our team raised over €2,500 in donations, while all the groups combined raised more than €100,000. The following year, we traveled to India to see the schools we helped fund. During the trip, I had the privilege of staying with a local Indian family, which gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation of their culture.
