This Christmas, India’s first and one-of-its-kind social media platform Welike with millions of downloads, has joined hands with CRY – Child Rights and You to support child education in the country. Thousands of people both online and offline are participating in the innovative “Zara HAT Ke” campaign designed by Welike to make Christmas celebrations special for underprivileged children.

For every such post, Welike has committed to contribute Rs 5 to the education of underprivileged children in collaboration with CRY – Child Rights and You. The campaign will run till December 28. The money will be donated to schools for underprivileged children in Delhi-NCR which are struggling with shortage of resources.
