Eesha Koppikhar Narang, a leading Bollywood actress and model, has teamed up with Childreach International to help promote child rights across India.

The leading lady joined forces with the international development charity on Sunday, to celebrate her birthday.

Eesha, who has starred in films such as Har Pal and Hello Darling said:

"I have always wanted to do something for the children of our country. In India, we see a lot of issues like female foeticide. As a woman, helping to raise awareness of these issues is a great opportunity for me." - Eesha Koppikhar Narang 

Childreach International India partners with grassroots initiatives across the country supporting projects focusing on health, education, child rights and protection.

Childreach International India will soon be holding a series of “Challenge Events” where young people fundraise to take part in a once in a lifetime adventure activity, such as climbing Mount Everest.  During their trip, the participants visit a project site to see how their fundraising efforts are making a real difference to the lives of hundreds of children.

Naresh Chaudhary, Country Director of Childreach International India, said “Eesha's involvement will inspire youngsters to join the cause. With Eesha’s help, I am sure that many youngsters will come forward to participate in our Challenge Event. The money raised would go towards funding projects aimed at improving prospects for the girl child."
