From April 26 to May 4, 2025, my colleagues and I are taking on the Himalayan Clouds Challenge — a 100 Kilometers trek over 5 days, through some of the most remote and rugged terrain in the Himalayas.
We’ll hike up to 9 hours a day, climb to heights of 2,850 meters, and camp under cold, starlit skies. No shortcuts. No comforts. Just sheer endurance and purpose.
This challenge is more than physical — it's deeply personal.
I am walking to raise critical funds and awareness for Nirmaan Foundation, a grassroots organization that empowers India's most underserved — vulnerable youth, women, children, and persons with disabilities.
Every blister, every breathless climb, is a step toward dignity, opportunity, and lasting change.
Why endure this? For me, and for Nirmaan, it's about making a real difference.
We scale mountains, but the people we walk for face higher peaks every day — poverty, exclusion, and missed chances.
You can help level the path.
When you give, you help someone rise. You give them tools, confidence, and a chance to dream again. Support one of these powerful Nirmaan initiatives:
We're walking the hard road so others won't have to. But we can't do it without you.
If this mission resonates with you — don't wait. Pick a cause above and take action. Or make a general donation to Nirmaan Foundation and help fuel change wherever it's needed most.
Bright learners (youth, women, PwDs) in our skill centers often lack quality books needed to supplement training and achieve career success.
Establish a complete library in a Nirmaan skill training center, providing essential resources for upskilling.
₹17,000 / ＄200 sets up one library (books, shelves, staff training).
Financial hardship prevents millions of underprivileged children from accessing quality education and basic supplies, hindering their future.
Ensure an underprivileged child receives education support for a year, plus essential school supplies.
₹3,500 / ＄40 covers one child for a year + supply kit.
Mothers relocating to Hyderabad for their visually challenged children's specialized education face high costs and need income sources.
Help establish a dedicated stitching unit for 12 mothers, providing sustainable livelihoods and supporting their families.
₹20,000 / ＄230 sponsors one mother's journey [Setup & Training].
I sincerely hope you'll choose a Nirmaan program above that resonates with you, or make a general donation to support Nirmaan's broader mission.
