I joined Project RISHI after witnessing the widespread prevalence of anemia in my hometown in India, a condition that affects countless lives but often goes unnoticed and untreated. The impact of anemia on the health and well-being of the community was profound, leading to a cycle of fatigue, poor productivity, and increased vulnerability to other illnesses. Motivated by a desire to make a tangible difference, I sought out Project RISHI, which at the time had a service initiative dedicated to provide support resources to communities suffering from anemia.
