I've been an organ donation ambassador with MOHAN Foundation since 2022 and since then, I have conducted various awareness sessions for the teachers and parents of my school community as well as for corporate businesses such as Schindler India. Apart from this, I undertook a 6-month long art project to raise awareness about organ donation and during the summer, I also worked on a research project with the Foundation (about the extent of insurance access available to transplant recipients and organ donors in India). Currently, I'm working on a fundraising project for MOHAN Foundation's initiative Anudaan to help sponsor a part of the surgery fee for a nine-month-old infant's liver transplant.
Through these experiences, I have been able to further strengthen my bond with the cause and I hope that our collective efforts can together lead India to be a leading organ donation hub in the world where this cause is not looked down upon but instead, honoured and celebrated - Put simply, I hope that someday, everyone in this country and around the world can appreciate the 'Gift of Life' for what it truly is.

My name is Krisha Toshniwal, and my journey with MOHAN Foundation began when I interned with them. During that time, I saw firsthand the beautiful cause they work towards - the life-saving impact of organ donation. I was deeply moved by the stories and data showing how one donor can transform the lives of many people in need. This experience has motivated me to support the foundation in every way, I can.
To raise both funds and awareness, I've been selling Eco-Friendly Ganesh idols for the past four years, with all profits going towards MOHAN Foundation. Knowing that my efforts can contribute to such a meaningful cause gives me immense joy. The work they do has inspired me, and I am honoured to play a small role in their mission to save lives.
Jason Moses
I'm Jason, a 16 year-old runner and homeschooler from Delhi. I'm excited to be running my first half marathon this year at VDHM (Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon) on October 20, 2024 in Delhi. I want to make it extra special by raising funds and supporting a life saving mission.
Today, I am privileged to be in good health. What better way to give back to society than to help those who don't have this privilege? ‘Anudaan', by MOHAN Foundation, is raising funds to make a difference in supporting organ transplantation especially for children. As a child, this is a cause very close to my heart. I am grateful to have the opportunity to help others. Together, we can make the world a better place for children through 'Anudaan'.
