About Me

I'm a 60 year old lawyer from Mumbai. I'm proud to support Project Amhi by running the Open 10k race at TMM 2025 as a Fundraiser. The people who run it (including my wife) are sincere, focussed and massively committed. I can't think of a better organisation or cause to support.

Appeal

I'm delighted to run the Open 10k race at TMM 2025 as a fundraiser for Project Aamhi, an NGO dedicated to addressing the critical issue of solid waste management in Raigad district.

Aamhi’s work is both essential and inspiring. Solid waste management, especially in semi-rural and rural areas, is often overlooked, leaving plastics and other non-biodegradable waste to accumulate in our eco-systems. Disposable plastics, clothes, footwear, and paper litter our roads, beaches, and open spaces or are accumulated in open dumps. When the dumps grow unmanageable they're often burned, releasing toxic pollutants into the air.

Under Aamhi's initiative, locally employed women collect waste across 10 villages, covering 36 sq. km. The waste is sorted and sent for recycling, removing over 10 tons of waste from the ecosystem every month. In this manner, Aamhi has collected and recycled more than 285 tons of non biodegradable waste.

Please help me raise funds for Aamhi’s efforts. Your donation will directly support their mission and help strengthen this important work.
