Update: Thank you for your benevolent support, I completed 30 days of running 5km and also exceeded the pledged amount to donate. It has been made possible with your kindness and support. More children will have access to education and make their community a sustainable place to live and prosper.
_________I am Ashish Vivek, an Economics postgraduate student in Delhi, and this month I have pledged to run 5km every day to support Insight Walk-in making education accessible and affordable in the village of Kohlapur, Maharashtra.
I firmly believe children hold the potential to reestablish humanity in our nation and learning these life skills and creating some awe-inspiring sustainable equipments helps them become more curious, creative, and compassionate.
I have been fascinated by their work in the community for a long time now and this is my bit to help them spread the joy of learning to more children.
Please support me in raising funds while I continue running 5 kilometers each day for the month of April. You can check my progress by clicking on "activities" on Strava as well!

The goal is not just to distribute resources and supplies and fix the problem for the short term, but to address the issue at its roots and create a sustainable community-led solution that can be easily replicated, adapted, and implemented in the future during any crises.
“The fact is that given the challenges we face, education doesn't need to be reformed -- it needs to be transformed. The key to this transformation is not to standardize education, but to personalize it, to build achievement on discovering the individual talents of each child, to put students in an environment where they want to learn and where they can naturally discover their true passions.”
― Ken Robinson
