200, 400, 800

Why the number of girls we support must double every year.

This year, through the Man-mohana Charitable Trust for Underprivileged Girls and Children, we support the education and welfare of 200 girls. Next year I want it to be 400. The year after, 800.

Why doubling

I thought about setting a bigger, rounder target. It would have looked better on paper. But a promise to a child is not a headline. It has to be kept every single year, and the girls already with us must never be crowded out by the ones who join later. Doubling is ambitious enough to stretch us and steady enough that I can stand behind it.

Why girls

When a girl finishes her education, the effect travels further than almost any other kind of help I know. It reaches her own children, her household, her village. Few investments compound like that.

Why I measure it

In business I measure everything. It would be strange to stop measuring the one thing I care about most. So we count, and we report the count, and I hold myself to it.

The animals

We also care for about 125 animals. They cannot ask for help, which is reason enough to give it.

If you would like to help, or to know more about the trust's work, you can reach me through Mansha Tradecom.
