Our Story

Our Story

Sai Vishwanath Memorial Trust was founded on the principles of inclusion, empathy, and community. While society has made progress in recognizing the rights of marginalized, disadvantaged, and differently abled individuals, the journey toward equality is far from complete.

As a trust, we strive to do our bit by supporting and empowering disadvantaged communities through sustained, hands-on involvement. Our work is rooted in long-term commitment, not one-time interventions.

Why Running?

We believe sports - especially running - are powerful equalizers.

They teach resilience, teamwork, and self-worth.

For the children and communities we work with, participation itself becomes a life lesson in confidence, dignity, and inclusion.

Running is not just a physical activity for us - it is a medium for learning, empowerment, and social change.

In Memory of Sai Vishwanath

Sai Vishwanath passed away in 2015 while on a work assignment in Scotland. He was deeply supportive of our initiatives and passionate about helping the disadvantaged.
