At the age of 93, my thoughts often return to the small village where I grew up, surrounded by my mother and sisters. I remember their quiet strength, their unfulfilled dreams, and the opportunities they were never given. What has stayed with me most, however, is how little attention was paid to their health. Pain was endured silently, and care was often delayed or denied. Even as a young boy, I often wondered—why should a woman’s life be this way? 

When I was blessed with a daughter, I made a promise to myself that her life would be different. I wanted her to be educated, independent, and confident, and to create change for other women. Today, as I see her working tirelessly to improve women’s health, I feel a deep sense of pride and fulfilment.

Through the work of the Stree Arogya Rural Foundation (SARF), I see that promise extending far beyond our own family. SARF is reaching women in rural communities—women who have long lived without access to basic health awareness and care. It is giving them a voice, dignity, and the opportunity to take charge of their health.

Yet, much remains to be done. Many women continue to suffer in silence, unaware of their rights and without access to timely care.

I with my wife humbly invite you to support this mission. Even a small contribution can help change a woman’s life—by enabling awareness, early diagnosis, and care.

Let us come together to build a future where no woman suffers in silence, and every woman lives with dignity, health, and hope.

With blessings and heartfelt support,
