The goal of the Undercover Project is to serve children who cannot afford underwear and socks, and give them the necessities.
The Undercover Project, which started in 2006, provides children in need between the ages of four to 14 with coupons that can be redeemed at any time to receive seven pairs of new socks and seven pairs of new underwear.
“The Undercover Project is really essential. People, concerned mothers and even the school teachers keep contacting us that children in schools come without these bare necessities. With new socks and underwear, Nayyar said, children feel a sense of belonging, and that they are considered equal in the community.“During the time of schooling, children may feel a little bit lost in the community since they feel they are not considered equal due to the certain circumstances they've been going through.
“At the middle to end of November, one of our employees will go and collect all the bins. Monetary donations can be made either through cheque or directly through our website, or they can also come in person and donate cash.”“Every year, there are a lot of sizes which we don't have. We have to go and buy those sizes for the children in need. Since it's an ongoing project, yearly project, the need for underwear and socks never goes down,” he said.
