MY APPEAL

Hi Friends. As you may know, I'm gearing up for another run at the TCS 10K this year. However, this time, I'm not just running for personal achievement; I'm running for a cause that's close to my heart, and I'd love for you to join me in making a difference.

I've teamed up with Gubbachi Learning Community, an incredible NGO dedicated to empowering underprivileged children in India. Their mission resonates deeply with me because they understand that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and providing a brighter future for these children.

Gubbachi Learning Community works tirelessly to provide these children with quality education, access to resources, and a supportive environment where they can thrive academically and personally. By supporting Gubbachi, we're not just providing education; we're nurturing dreams, unlocking potential, and giving these children the opportunity to build a better tomorrow for themselves and their communities.

Here's how you can help:

Donate: Every contribution, no matter how big or small, makes a significant impact. Your donation will go directly towards supporting Gubbachi's programs, including providing educational materials, infrastructure improvements, and essential resources for these children.

Spread the Word: Share this cause with your friends, family, and colleagues. Together, we can amplify our impact and reach more people who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of underprivileged children.

I truly believe that together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of these children. Let's spread kindness, and create a brighter future for the next generation.

Thank you for your support, and I look forward to running alongside you in this journey of giving back.

RAISING FUNDS FOR

GUBBACHI LEARNING COMMUNITY

Founded in 2015, Gubbachi Learning Community is a Section 8 company* working towards the educational inclusion of marginalised children from migrant families in Bangalore’s IT corridor along Sarjapur and Outer Ring Roads.

Children from these communities are often prevented from attending school due to multiple reasons - from physical access, existing learning deficits and cultural barriers. Even if they are able to attend, non-learning in under-resourced government schools present further obstacles. This leads to poor school outcomes, low attendance and ultimately - to dropouts.

Gubbachi has developed a portfolio of interlinking programmes that take a 360° view of this problem:

- Our Educational Programmes address the spectrum of learning disadvantage and seek to remove barriers to education – with particular focus on foundational literacy and school certification for adolescents.

- Our Community Programmes include initiatives to support the families of students to keep them invested in schooling. For example: building social identity for migrant workers, enabling access to benefits and entitlements, and providing access to quality healthcare.

Since 2015, we have impacted 3,900+ children in nine Government Higher Primary Schools along Sarjapur Road, and engaged with 18,300+ families in around 30 migrant communities across Bangalore.
