About How You Can Help: Donate & Get Involved
When you choose to support us, you are not just sending funds or spare time, you are directly sustaining our weekly story sessions and Imagination Haven library projects. We rely on community members to help us cover everything from craft materials to the logistical setup of our portable Magic Crates, ensuring that no child is left without a safe space to explore their emotions.
Your Support Matters
We believe that every child deserves a chance to heal, and your involvement helps us keep that promise. Whether you are in Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, or Ahmedabad, there are tangible ways you can contribute to our mission.
Donate a Book or Fund a Library
Our Magic Crate portable libraries require a constant flow of high-quality children's storybooks. If you are in Mumbai, you can drop off gently used children's books that spark joy and curiosity. For those looking to make a financial contribution, every ₹500 helps us sustain our Take the Story Forward campaign, which funds the craft supplies and session materials needed for our weekly storytelling circles. For larger impacts, you can sponsor an entire annual story program or fund a turnkey Imagination Haven project that transforms a room into a vibrant reading space.
Volunteer Your Time and Talent
We are always looking for Changemakers who can bring heart and commitment to our programs.
- Storytellers: Lead our weekly sessions, guiding children through narratives that build resilience.
- Program Facilitators: Support our leadership fellowships and help run activities in our libraries.
- Creative Support: Offer your skills in photography, session planning, or research.
- Research Assistants: If you have a background in psychology, you can help us measure the emotional growth and resilience of the children we serve.
When you volunteer, you become part of a community that celebrates every milestone, from birthdays to graduation ceremonies. Join us in creating these havens of hope, where stories become the bridge to a brighter future.
Bookwallah
I founded Bookwallah fifteen years ago because stories were my own escape when I was a child. Today, our community of volunteers and donors is what keeps this mission alive, proving that we can all play a part in helping a child find their own brave ending.
