Appeal

Have you heard about deafblindness? Did you know that nearly 5 lakh deafblind people in India are unable to both see and hear? They live in isolation and neglect, denied the basic human experiences of love and care, education, employment, and medical care—needs that most of us take for granted.

We are on a mission to change that!

Since its inception, Sense India has been dedicated to transforming the lives of deafblind individuals across the country. Through early intervention, customized education, and livelihood opportunities, we have helped over 80,000 deafblind people transition from isolation to a life filled with communication, interaction, and self-esteem.

Access to these essential services is life-changing—it allows deafblind children to unlock their potential and explore the world around them. But we can’t do it alone. We need your support to continue this vital work.

You can make a significant impact. Here’s how you can help today:
- Buy a Charity Bib: Participate in any race category with Sense India and run to support children with deafblindness.
- Host a Fundraising Event: Organize an event to raise funds and awareness for our cause.
- Raise Funds Online: Start an online fundraising campaign to rally support from your friends and family.
- Join as a Corporate Team: Engage your company and colleagues to run and raise funds for Sense India.

Regardless of your age, location, or ability to participate in the marathon, you can make a difference in a deafblind child’s life—and you can start right now.

Join us in supporting the education and rehabilitation of 85 children with deafblindness and multiple disabilities in Porbandar and Surendranagar. Your participation and donations will provide essential services like education, healthcare, livelihood training, and rehabilitation, giving these children a chance at a brighter future.

Together, we can change lives. Run with us and make a difference!

Let’s run to transform lives. Let’s run for a cause.
