Karan Johar’s Fankind campaign to raise funds and sponsor children's education in rural India 

Mumbai: Anshula Kapoor’s online fundraising platform, ‘Fankind’ announced the launch of their fifth campaign with the celebrated film director Karan Johar.

Through this campaign, Karan Johar will be raising funds for the NGO ActionAid Association.  The proceeds of this campaign will be used to sponsor the education of children in rural India.

With ActionAid Association, sponsoring a child goes beyond education. The support ensures that it transforms the lives of children in the community where the sponsored child lives, by ensuring they get access to quality education, proper nutrition, healthcare and protection. All it takes is INR 750 to educate, feed and sponsor one child for a month.

On the announcement of the campaign, Karan Johar said, "I strongly believe that every child should receive at least the basic education, it is something I truly feel builds the foundation of every individuals life and makes one a responsible citizen and a human being."

"Hence, I am supporting this cause through my campaign with Fankind. The proceeds will be given to ActionAid in order to sponsor education of children in rural India.”

To participate in the campaign, fans can donate on Fankind’s website to buy entries for a minimum of INR 200 or multiples thereof, and one lucky fan participating along with a friend will get the opportunity to have coffee with the director along with a chance to tour the coveted swanky Dharma Productions office in Mumbai!

The experience Fankind provides is indeed one of a kind. From undertaking their travel and stay arrangements to providing the unique experience promised with the celebrity, it is truly a celebratory day for the fan!

Fankind recently announced the winner of their first campaign with actor Varun Dhawan. The amount raised through the campaign by Varun’s fans was INR 8,95,950.

In addition to this, Varun Dhawan who strongly feels for this cause also donated for it and the total amount raised is INR 13,77,200.

The winner, Amitesh Kulkarni who is a 20-year-old student from Hyderabad, got the once in a lifetime opportunity to play paintball with Varun!

Sonakshi Sinha’s campaign with Fankind is currently ongoing as well. The campaign with Karan Johar goes live on November 05 and will end on December 08, 2019. Log onto the Fankind website to participate and raise funds for the noble cause.
