5K Run: SLP Hyderabad

Last year, our Hyderabad chapter started a tradition of getting together local startups for an annual 5K Run to support social causes along with creating awareness. On discovering that over 40% of girls drop out of middle schools across India, this year, they decided to run to “Educate the Girl Child”. The run was held on the 31st of January 2016 at Raahgiri in Hyderabad. About 300 people ran at the event.

We are happy to announce that they raised 2.2 lakhs of rupees and all of this money is going towards the education of the girl child. Congratulations, team Hyderabad!
