About Me
My name is Sarika Desai. I am the founder of Sparsha, a community-driven organization dedicated to creating safe, nurturing environments for children. This year, I am honored to participate in the Tata Mumbai Marathon, not just for the love of running, but to champion a cause that is very close to my heart—the Sanskar Project.
Through the Sanskar Project, we aim to empower 450 underprivileged children by providing them with the tools they need to build a brighter future. Your support can make this vision a reality, and I invite you to join me on this meaningful journey.
Appeal
I am running for something far greater than just the finish line. I am running to bring hope, opportunities, and lasting change to hundreds of children and families in underprivileged communities through Sparsha Charitable Trust.
For over 25 years, Sparsha has worked tirelessly in Mumbai, dedicating itself to educating, empowering, and uplifting children from marginalized communities. We believe every child deserves access to quality education, good health, and the opportunity to live in a safe, supportive environment. Our flagship programs—SHIKSHA, SANSKAR SWAYAM , SAKSHAM, and SEHAT —reach thousands of children and their families, providing critical support and creating pathways to a brighter future.
Here’s why your support matters:
Empowering Education: Your contribution directly helps retain children in school, enhances their learning, and builds foundational skills that will impact their futures.
Supporting Health and Wellness: From health check-ups to nutrition programs, your donation provides vital resources that keep children and families healthy.
Creating Safe, Thriving Communities: Our work extends beyond education; we focus on building safe, sustainable communities that support long-term growth and development.
Every step we take in this marathon is a step closer to changing lives. With your support, we can reach more children, transform more communities, and foster lasting impact.
Let’s run together for Sparsha, for every child who dreams of a better tomorrow, and for a Mumbai where every child has the support they need to thrive. Join us, support us, and let’s make this marathon truly meaningful.
