On Jan 17th, the entire MHFC team will be running in the Mumbai Marathon (despite the fact that some of us shouldn't even be jogging) - all for a good cause - to raise money for Mumbai Mobile Creches - an NGO which looks after children on construction sites (for more info, please see http://www.mumbaimobilecreches.org/)
No pressure at all - as we know that many of you already support other organisations - but it would be great if you could help make a difference to MMC's work and add a contribution to the funds we are collecting by writing a cheque in favour of "Mumbai Mobile Creches" and mail to us at:
Micro Housing Finance Corporation
#3 Victoria Building, 1st Floor
S A Brelvi Road
off Horniman Circle, Fort
Mumbai - 400001
For those of you who are tax conscious, there is good news. You will get an 80 G tax exemption on your contribution. When else will you get an opportunity to make us run and also let the Indian Government pay for the privilege ?

Mumbai Marathon (Jan 2010)
The construction industry is the single largest employer of migrant labour in India. Est at over 30 Million in number, they move to cities with their children and typically live on the construction sites itself. While they are at work, the children have to fend for themselves, and suffer from malnutrition, injury, and illness. They rarely go to school.
Mumbai Mobile Creches ("MMC") is an NGO based out of Mumbai which works with children of construction workers on building sites, specifically on health, education and safety. Its vision is for all children to have a nurturing and happy childhood and its mission is to promote ‘child-friendly sites’; where every child living on a construction site is able to enjoy their childhood. It tries to ensure that the first few years of a child‘s life are well nourished and stimulating, an essential foundation for a happy childhood, and it has a special focus on children below six.
MHFC is proud to be running the Mumbai Marathon (slated for Jan 2010) for Mumbai Mobile Creches.
