Story

Join Us on an Epic Tuk Tuk Adventure for Shishukunj Charity!

We're embarking on a thrilling adventure across India to raise funds for Shishukunj, an incredible charity that transforms the lives of underprivileged children. And how are we doing it? By driving a tuk-tuk (yes, a tuk-tuk!) over 3000km, from the southern tip of Rameshwaram all the way to the western deserts of Bhuj!

Picture this: over 3000 kilometers of Indian roads, stretching from the sacred beaches of Tamil Nadu to the historic town of Bhuj in Gujarat. From bustling cities to remote villages, from lush green landscapes to arid deserts—our route is nothing short of diverse, unpredictable, and unforgettable.

But it's not just the landscapes that will challenge us. Tuk-tuks, though iconic, aren't exactly built for long-distance travel. With a maximum speed of 40km/h, we'll be braving bumpy roads, mechanical breakdowns, and the unpredictable elements of Indian weather. But all of this is what makes the adventure so special—and it’s all for a cause we deeply believe in.

Why Shishukunj?

Shishukunj is a charity committed to empowering underprivileged children, providing them with the education, care, and opportunities they deserve. They focus on nurturing young minds, developing skills, and instilling values that will help these children lead fulfilling lives. From sponsoring education to running essential community projects, Shishukunj touches the lives of countless children who would otherwise lack access to basic resources.

By supporting us, you’re directly contributing to:

Educational support for children in need.

Healthcare programs that ensure every child has access to essential care.

Development programs that foster skills, confidence, and opportunities.

How You Can Help

Our goal is to raise £6000 to support Shishukunj’s incredible work. Every contribution, no matter how small, will help us get closer to this target and change the lives of children across India.
