Nav Bhatia, best known as the Raptor’s Ambassador and Superfan, has taken on the role of official World Vision Ambassador for the Rise Up Daughter’s of India project. As a well-loved member of the sporting community and known across North America for his devotion to his favourite team, Bhatia continues his tradition of helping others as he advocates for girls in India.
The Rise up Daughters of India project will help girls in India who do not have access to the necessities to attend school. Initially World Vision is looking to build proper washroom facilities in schools in the Punjab region of India. Without proper facilities in their schools, girls are often forced to leave campus throughout the day and risk their safety, health and dignity as they attend to a basic need. Many girls decide to drop out of school, rather than endanger themselves.
“I, myself have witnessed first-hand the bias against our daughters in India. My own daughter was adopted from an orphanage in India. By simply improving school facilities for girls we are showing to everyone a girl’s education is important. This is how important Rise up Daughters of India is,†said Superfan, Nav Bhatia.
