Appeal
Friends,
The Tata Mumbai Marathon fundraising portal is now open. For the last 11 years, for me, the TMM has meant an opportunity to raise funds for Karunya Trust. All of you have supported me through these years and together we have seen this NGO grow and do better work each year.
This year I am raising funds for two worthy projects .One is the Gyaansathi ,the school for rag-picker children of Deonar dumping which we have been supporting for the last ten years. The second project is Saavli which supports HIV impacted children in Bhandup Nahur area.
Gyaansathi has 3 centres in Shivaji Nagar. Along with a school from nursery to SSC it runs community centres which help the families avail government benefits.
The 2024 SSC batch made a record of sorts with 24 pass out of the 29 who appeared. Last year we started a special SSC batch for young women who had to drop their schooling when they got married. Out of the 14 who appeared 10 passed SSC and one student scored 65%.
I had the privilege of teaching this batch. This year too I am teaching the batch of these irregular students who are coming back to regular schooling.
The other project Saavli continues to provide medical and educational help to 1450+ children who are impacted by high risk diseases.
The impact of government's recent restrictions on foreign donations has been that these projects are severely lacking funding. I request you to please extend yourselves to make a sizable contribution this year in order to keep these projects on track.
You can donate online through the donate button on this page.
If you would like to pay by cheque or funds transfer please send me a private message.
We also have charity bibs. So if you are interested in running in the TMM2025 and wish to purchase a charity bib please DM me.
