One Hospital Visit Changed Two Lives.
One Hospital Visit Changed Two Lives.
Nirav and Sneh weren’t planning to start an NGO. They were just visiting a friend at Tata Cancer Hospital. But what they saw? • Kids in pain • Families breaking down • Lives destroyed by something as silent as smoke Then it hit them. That smoke was coming from plastic… Burned by junk dealers. Plastic ripped from e-waste and set on fire. Why? Because it had no value in the scrap market. So it became fuel for pits. And fuel for cancer. Nirav couldn’t unsee it. Neither could Sneh. On 27 Dec 2022, PRAAN VAAYU was born. A foundation that doesn’t fight disease… It fights the cause of disease. • By running awareness drives • By educating scrap dealers • By showing people how deadly this cycle is Sneh officially joined in 2025, but her support was always there. Because this mission… is bigger than both of them. Today, they aren’t just cleaning up e-waste. They’re cleaning up ignorance.
