Never too young to help


Change agent: Tanusya managed to raise funds to buy 10 laptops for underprivileged students.

THE will to see every child have equal access to education drove a 13-year-old to start an initiative to purchase laptops for underprivileged students so that they do not fall behind as school lessons remain online.

Tanusya Manimuttu, a spunky teenager from SMK Damansara Utama in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, started the “laptop for learning” initiative after noticing that some of her friends were struggling to study without the device.
