Veerni Literacy Project is on a mission to empower and educate girls who face barriers to education in Rajasthan. By participating in this event, we can make a significant difference in their lives. The funds raised will directly support their comprehensive literacy program, providing academic support, life skills training, and access to quality education.

For every participant, Acumen, part of Sannam S4 Group, will donate AUD$50 to the Veerni Literacy programme. If you would like to make a donation you can do so directly on the Veerni website here; every little bit counts and will make a significant difference in these girls' lives.

Thank you in advance for your support and generosity. If you are not able to take part but would like to make a donation, you can do so here. https://www.veerni.org/Donation.aspx
