About Me

Dear Reader,
I am Gargi Mishra. I am 26 and I work as a Principal at a low-income school with iTeach Schools. I have been serving children from low-income backgrounds for the past 5 years now.
I got into long distance running a little over 3 years ago because it seemed like the hardest thing to do & there's a certain kind of freedom in doing hard things.
I am running the Tata Mumbai Marathon in 2026 not just for my personal pursuit but for a cause that I spend all my waking hours working for - for kids.

Appeal

Education is an enabling right & a deeply transformational weapon that can change lives. And transformation needs intention coupled with critical & collective action.

The funds I raise will directly go towards one of the following categories:

1. A safety net for student emergencies – A Grade 10 student loses her father unexpectedly. Rent is due, and the family is on the brink. Our “Pressing Needs Fund" steps in so she stays in school, not in the job market.
2. The last push to a dream – An alumnus earns an 80% scholarship to Ashoka, FLAME, or Krea University. The “Last Mile Fund” covers the remaining 20% so they can walk into their college hostel, bags packed with books, not worries.
3. A shield for our mission – Sometimes CSR funds are delayed. Our "Reserve Fund" ensures stability for us.

Will you do your bit?
