My story
Deep Griha is close to my heart - I volunteered with them in India in 1999 which made a massive impression on the rest of my life, inspired my love of travel and my interest in other cultures.
I was lucky to return to Deep Griha in Summer 2025 to celebrate their 50th Anniversary and was inspired by the evolution of Deep Griha and the amazing development & empowerment work they do in Pune and beyond.
I also have a coke habit...more specifically a Diet Coke habit...and have struggled to change this. So I thought some accountability to you guys and fundraising for Deep Griha might help me beat this habit and raise some money for an amazing cause.
Minimum target is giving up Diet Coke* for 1 month
This video (15mins) shows the work of Deep Griha
