As the director and main subject of the film, this project is deeply personal and passionate for me. I knew going into this project that it was going to require an immense amount of resilience in response to rejection when reaching out for support which I have encountered many times throughout the fight to keep us moving forward.

When you are in that fight, every small show of support revitalizes your momentum and reminds everyone involved that someone out there really believes in what you’re doing and sees the importance in your work.

Receiving the TPP grant and seeing our project on the same list as so many other phenomenal projects that were chosen really lifted us up and pushed us to the next obstacle to overcome with confidence.
The TPP team have been wonderful to us. We are very proud to attach the TPP name to our project both along the way and in the final crediting of our film to be seen by every audience we can reach.

WINNERS!!
Our grantees Manjushree Abhinav and Aanchal Raturi won the Swarnali Roy Vegan Advocacy Awards 2024 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 

Manjushree received a grant for her project "My planet and my plate", inspiring students to become climate activists themselves, to plant the seed of change into the hearts and minds of students, hoping that these seeds will sprout into far-reaching effects. 

Aanchal founded Project Re-Learn, conducting workshops in Uttaranchal colleges to sensitize future agriculturists about ethical practices. 

Join us in congratulating these two incredible heartivists! 🧡
