Dear Friends,

The Aidmatrix Foundation, India, working for humanitarian objectives through Communications, Partnerships & Technology for accelerating and increasing the capacity of our partners to deliver humanitarian relief to communities we serve and who need it the most.

"The Nurturing Trees Nurturing Lives campaign" is aimed at focusing attention on the need to protect children against polio and other vaccine preventable life threatening diseases by taking all the vaccines being offered under the Government’s Routine Immunization programme. As part of the campaign, we propose to have children and community leaders plant saplings, pledge to take care of their saplings for a healthy environment and also pledge to spread awareness on the need to protect children with lifesaving vaccines being offered under the Governments routine Immunisation (RI) programme, for a healthy life.

The Tree would be synonymous of a child who needs to be nurtured and protected against life threatening diseases, just as the Tree needs to be regularly watered and cared to grow into a healthy tree.

We would like to invite every students, faculty and staff to join us and share their hands in this plantation drive for noble cause. This campaign will proceed through plantation of approximately 200 saplings in total and awareness sessions at IIT Delhi in various phases under the guidance of our Horticulture department, IIT Delhi and aidmatrix foundation, India.
