Running and Giving
Running for a cause gives us that extra impetus to exceed our limits for a higher purpose. This is what makes athletic fundraising so effective. It also builds community with the volunteers, strengthens the organization and eventually helps us evolve into a better version of ourselves.

Following the Funding Trail
As volunteers, your top priority often is raising funds. You work hard for it. We believe it is important to match that passion with information on how the funds are used. Who decides what to fund, how much to fund, how do we monitor the funds. Come join us as we lead you through the Funding Trail.
If you would like to submit projects for potential funding by Vibha, please click here (bit.ly/Vibha_ProjectsProposal). -
Solving for Inequity in Education
The first step to making a difference is to say “I care”.
A school may have all the resources it needs, but if the students, teachers and community are not engaged, learning outcomes are bound to be affected. Motivation is at the crux of the issue of inequity in education and this is the problem Sikshana, a pioneering NGO started to solve, one school at a time. Partnering with the government to reach the remotest school, they have scaled to multiple states and are now building solutions for the next gen problems.
Prasanna Vadayar, CEO of Sikshana and Scotlin Maryma, Vibha volunteer and Project Manager of Sikshana will take us through their journey of Sikshana and its growth across India.
Also, sign up for an in-person Dream Mile Marathon, hosted by Vibha Bay Area at https://runsignup.com/bay-area
