Hello everyone,

Some of you on this page are my close friends and family members and others may be interacting with me for the first time! Either way, I so appreciate your support 🙏🏽♥️. 

I am a believer in the universe showing you small signs, that when noticed, make the next steps that much clearer. 

This happened to me when a dear friend of mine invited me to a World Vision dinner. In the past year I felt intense helplessness-confronted by the magnitude of pain burdening humanity from the comfort of my emerald green couch. 

I came to realize that even the little things we do have a profound impact- I am not helpless. Each little shift in our energy shifts the energy of those around us, and there is an abundance of power in that. 

I'm running with Team World Vision to help provide life-changing clean water to children and communities in the developing world. 

Nearly 1,000 children under age 5 die every day from diarrhea caused by contaminated water, poor sanitation, and improper hygiene. But we believe the global water and sanitation crisis can be solved within our lifetimes. 

$50 = clean water for 1 person

Will you invest in the future and provide clean water for 1, 2, 3, or even more people?

Anything you can give makes a difference-not only are you supporting this important cause but in doing so you are also supporting my personal goal of running my first ever marathon (and that in my NYC home of all places)! 

I am looking to hit a goal of 10 child sponsorships and any contribution makes a difference. 

It is $39/month or $468/year to sponsor a child. There is more information on how to do so below. 

If you are unable to sponsor a child but would still like to contribute to the cause you can Venmo me your desired amount @deepa90 or use the link below:

The money you chose to contribute  will go towards a child sponsorship. 

How to SPONSOR A CHILD: 

Help me increase my impact by sponsoring a child! Child sponsorship and clean water funding work hand in hand to address the needs of a community. Choose a child to sponsor or allow a child to choose you using the links below. Be sure to let me know if you sponsor a child so that I can celebrate the start of this awesome journey with you!

*Keep a note of your sponsored child's first name (if available) and your order number to send back to the TWV participant (me-Deepa Voleti 😊) you are supporting.

World Vision provides more clean water than any nongovernment organization in the world, providing clean water to one new person every 10 seconds. They work to help communities lift themselves out of poverty for good by addressing issues around clean water, hunger, health, education, economic empowerment, and child protection. About World Vision
