Public school students reached
After a short discussion on why pollution is a major issue in Delhi, students worked in groups to practice real-world problem-solving, teamwork, and entrepreneurial thinking by designing solutions for people — not just about the problem.

We introduced FiltAir and our mission. Next semester, we return to lead a hands-on workshop where students will assemble their own Kaze air purifier.

KindLife

KindLife funded our initiative, FiltAir. They also allowed us to use their office space to film a tutorial video on how to assemble our air filters. Their support has been instrumental in helping us grow from a school project into a real-world intervention.
