Story

Help me to save a life or change someone's future!

Calcutta Rescue provides free healthcare, education, vocational training and sanitation so that families and whole communities living in the slums in Kolkata, India can improve their health and living conditions and have a chance to lift themselves out of poverty.

We are taking part in Kavi's Walk - 18.5km along the Thames Path in London, from Mortlake to Vauxhall on Sunday, 8 September 2024. It is being held in memory of Calcutta Rescue supporter Kavi Varsani (my little cousin bro) who took part in the first sponsored walk along the Thames in 2018 before tragically passing away from Covid at the start of the pandemic aged 22.

All the money raised will go to fund Calcutta Rescue's core programmes helping thousands of people living in poverty in Kolkata.
