About Me

Hi! I’m Advika Mehta, a student and volunteer passionate about education and community development. Over time, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Muktangan, where I’ve witnessed how their inclusive, child-centred approach transforms learning for underprivileged children. Inspired by their vision, I’m running the Tata Mumbai Marathon to raise funds and awareness for their cause. A few of my hobbies include, playing football, running and baking in my free time.

Appeal

I am fundraising for Muktangan, an Mumbai-based NGO that has redefined education by empowering local communities to become changemakers in their own schools. Since 2003, Muktangan has provided high-quality, inclusive, child-centred education to children from marginalized communities while training community members—mostly women—as skilled teachers. Running the Tata Mumbai Marathon wearing Muktangan’s bib is my way of supporting their mission of “Education for the community, by the community.” Every step I take is a step toward building an empowered, equitable, and better-educated India. I hope that you can help me in my journey to do so by making a donation.
