We knew that safety for women was an issue within the community so we started this group where we have a platform to discuss such issues and seek advice. We woul...

A little run with a big impact. There's certain moments in this project that remind the team that they are certainly not alone on this mission, and the visit to Jaipur was certainly one.

By a survey of Delhi government's Women and Child Development Department, around 80% of women in the nation's capital have fear regarding their safety. Donate To Support Children’s Education.
