🧥 Free Clothes Bank
Overview:
In 2021, Aspire and Glee launched Kolkata’s first Free Clothes Bank — a revolutionary step in community service. Through this initiative, we collect, sort, clean, and package gently used clothes to distribute to people in need — from daily wage earners and street children to disaster survivors.
How it Works:
Donors contribute wearable clothes in good condition.
Our team sorts and sanitizes them.
Distributions are organized across localities and events based on need.
Impact So Far:
Over 5,000 garments distributed
Ongoing drives during winter and post-disaster periods
A sustainable, zero-cost dignity model
Pioneering Compassion in Kolkata...
📚 Chalk, Slate n Rise
Overview:
Launched in April 2022, this initiative supports the educational needs of underprivileged children in rural Bengal. We began with the Gayatri Educational Project in Hooghly, providing support to over 120 students with essentials such as school bags, books, uniforms, and infrastructural upgrades.
Expansion:
In January 2023, we partnered with Glorious Group of Schools in Diamond Harbour to support more children through:
Funding tuition and academic costs
Improving classroom infrastructure
Providing psychological and emotional support
Scholarship Milestone (2024-25):
To mark our 10th anniversary, we launched the Aspire to Inspire Scholarship Program, awarding ₹6,00,000 in scholarships to 30 deserving students across Bengal.
Goal: Empower the next generation with tools to rise beyond poverty.

🪔 Ebar Tobe Sobar Pujo
Overview:
Since our inception, Aspire and Glee have celebrated Durga Puja with a unique twist: by taking the festivities to those who can’t reach them.
Activities Include:
Sponsoring new clothes for children in orphanages and homes
Organizing traditional pujo meals from Sasthi to Dashami across partner homes and orphanages
Hosting cultural events, bhog distributions, and music sessions
Supporting Dhakis and street children with supplies and food
Sharing Biriyani to the street children and their families across the lanes of the city
Why It Matters:
Pujo is more than a festival. It's about inclusion, belonging, and shared joy — which we deliver year after year.
