Tata Mumbai Marathon 2024

We've often heard the statement "Children are the faces of tomorrow". If nearly 50% of INDIAN children face abuse, what will the face of tomorrow look like? HEAL (Help Eradicate Abuse through Learning) is a Mumbai-based NGO working in the area of child sexual abuse since 2008. It is estimated that nearly 50% of children in India face abuse. Yet, we see HEAL through their awareness and sensitization workshops on child sexual abuse and body safety, which aim to equip adults to recognize and deal with child sexual abuse, as well as help the survivors the best they can; and help the children integrate a sense of body safety and autonomy. The vision thus upheld is to consciously create safe spaces like schools, communities, and homes, that can help in avoiding the horrors that a sexually abusive experience can bring about for children. As a child of India today, I believe that it is everyone's right to a safer future. It is us, the children, who work for a better tomorrow and HEAL is one of the solutions I am working towards.

About Me
I am Naira Ginwalla, a 16 year old student from the Cathedral and John Connon School, Mumbai. This will be by second year raising for HEAL! When I first heard about HEAL, I was shocked at the statistics; India is home to above 430 million children (<18) and around 53% of these children face sexual abuse. As a teenager who has grown up in an incredibly safe and loving environment, it scares me to think of other children my age who have to live with the immense trauma of being abused. Hence, in January 2024 , I will be running the Tata Mumbai Marathon again to show my support and raise funds for HEAL. I have made it my mission to raise as much as I can for this cause which I truly love and would be most grateful for any donations for HEAL!
