Old Proverb: Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime

New Version: Teach a Woman to Fish, and You Feed Her for a Lifetime, and her family and the community around her

The modern improvisation of the old proverb says it all. Empowering women has implications beyond uplifting just the individual. The empowerment SHE receives gets passed on to her child because of the mother in her. The encouragement that SHE collects gets passed on to the community because of the believer in her. The skills that SHE develops in herself get passed towards the benefit of the society.

I am running the HALF MARATHON in Tata Mumbai Marathon 2020. My reason to sweat out is to help the underprivileged women lead a better life.

I am running in support of Srujna, a not for profit organization with the goal of creating jobs for women in poverty. Srujna outlines a training intervention for the underprivileged women and creates association with companies to create jobs for them.

It is my privilege to make a difference to those who need it the most. I'd also like to extend the opportunity to you - as you're one of them who believes that we can bring a positive change Together, let's make a difference.
