We're a volunteer driven non-profit organization dedicated to create brighter future for underprivileged children. Vibha is not a funding agency.
Vibha’s philosophy is that of a social venture catalyst. We seed, grow and scale grass-roots ideas that can solve systemic problems related to the underprivileged child through a cure that involves minimal external intervention with large scale societal impact. Such solutions are typically hard to find and involve closely working with all players related to the eco-system of the problem – the beneficiaries, beneficiary families, village, town and city councils, governmental agencies and above all society at large. Vibha is a platform that brings together people that want to make a difference in the life of an underprivileged child (grass-root entrepreneur, donor, volunteer, govt. agencies and partner NFOs). Funding is one of the tools provided by this platform towards ensuring a scalable cure is found to SOLVE a systemic problem in the life of the underprivileged child. Vibha provides its social entrepreneurs with significant know-how, financial and management skills, Information Technology skills, marketing and fund-raising skills as well sustainability and scalability skills. Vibha’s project screening process is a pain-staking detailed process so as to identify ideas that could possibly SOLVE once and for all a systemic problem related to the underprivileged child. Once selected, the social entrepreneur is provided with the necessary seed capital as well as know-how with constant project monitoring assistance through Vibha personnel and staff on the ground towards ensuring the project is meeting its necessary milestones towards achieving a scalable cure. If after a certain period of time (typically 3 years), the project has not achieved its goal of finding a scalable solution for the problem its trying to solve, Vibha starts a gradual exit process so as to ensure the project continues to benefit its beneficiaries with minimal disturbance. If the project does achieve its goal of finding a scalable cure for the problem it is trying to solve, Vibha now plays the role of disseminating this cure far and wide through various channels including partner NGOs, other Vibha projects in different geographies, govt.agencies, and the involvement of society at large. In short, we seed, grow and scale sustainable and scalable solutions for systemic problems affecting the lives of the underprivileged child.

Athens. Rio. Sydney. Mumbai. Atlanta. Antarctica at –20°C. Cape Town.
On May 24, 2026, our volunteer Srinivas Vemulapalli completed the Seven Continents Club — joining fewer than 800 people worldwide who have run a marathon on every continent.
"Seven continents. Countless miles. One incredible life."
You don't have to run seven continents. Just one mile for a child's dream.

Fewer than 800 people in the world have run a marathon on every continent. Our volunteer Srinivas Vemulapalli is now one of them.
After completing the Six World Marathon Majors in just seven months in 2023, Srinivas and Rohini Jella began exploring the Seven Continents Club. They launched the journey in Athens — the birthplace of the marathon — then carried the momentum to Rio de Janeiro in 2024, where running the original marathon course and crossing the finish line inside an Olympic stadium was, in his words, nothing short of historic. Sydney in August 2025 reignited the quest — and fittingly turned out to be the seventh Abbott World Marathon Major. Mumbai in January 2026 and Atlanta in March followed, before the most extraordinary race of all: Antarctica, at –20°C, with fierce winds, relentless hills, and penguin crossing signs along the course.
On May 24, 2026, he crossed the finish line in Cape Town and officially joined the Seven Continents Club.
None of it happened alone. Behind every mile: his running team, his wife Rama, and his daughter Sindhu — who travelled across the world and ran miles on course just to cheer him on.
"Seven continents. Countless miles. One incredible life."
That spirit is exactly what the Vibha Dream Mile is built on. You don't have to run seven continents. Just show up for one mile — for a child who deserves the chance to dream as big.

🌍✨ Vibha Volunteers Making an Impact! ✨🌍
What a truly fruitful and fulfilling morning for our Vibha volunteers! Together, with incredible energy and compassion, our team participated in the Rise Against Hunger meal packaging event and along with many different groups helped pack almost 20,000 meals that will be sent to families in the Philippines. 🍚❤️
Moments like these remind us of the power of community and service. In just a few hours, volunteers of all ages came together with one shared goal — to fight hunger and make a real difference in the world.
Every scoop of rice, every sealed bag, and every smile represented hope for someone who needs it. We are so proud of our volunteers for stepping up and giving their time for such a meaningful cause.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated and supported this effort. Together, we are creating impact, one meal at a time. 🙏
