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.
Well 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.
Many bright learners—youth, women, and persons with disabilities—lack access to quality books, limiting their learning and career growth.
Enable a complete library setup at a skill training center, offering curated books and resources to support lifelong learning.
₹17,000 / ＄200 provides books, shelves, and staff training.
Underprivileged children often drop out of school due to the lack of educational materials and consistent learning support.
Support one child’s education for an entire year, including books, stationery, and a backpack to foster learning with dignity.
₹1,000 / ＄12 ensures one child gets a full school kit and yearly academic support.
Mothers of visually impaired children in Hyderabad face financial hardship and urgently need income-generating opportunities.
Help launch a stitching unit for 12 mothers, offering them livelihood, dignity, and the ability to support their children’s education.
₹20,000 / ＄230 helps one mother with equipment, materials, and 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.
