Aamir Khan and Family Will Run as the ‘Home Run Squad’ for Paani Foundation and Agatsu Foundation!

Founded by Aamir Khan and #KiranRao, Paani Foundation has transformed drought-hit villages in Maharashtra through training, science, and teamwork. What began in 2016 with the Satyamev Jayate Water Cup—a 45-day competition that taught villages how to conserve
water—has become a movement of learning and self-reliance today.
The organisation’s ongoing Farmer Cup initiative takes the same approach to sustainable agriculture, proving that empowerment grows when people understand and act together.

#AgatsuFoundation, created by #IraKhan makes mental health accessible, affordable, and
human. From its free community centre and low-cost therapy clinic in Bandra to its knowledge programmes that turn psychology into everyday language, Agatsu focuses on
helping people build emotional hygiene, connection, and self-victory.

Both foundations believe that long-term change is possible when people take ownership of the solutions. One teaches farmers to read the land; the other teaches individuals to
understand their minds.

In 2026, Paani Foundation’s mission is to scale pan-Maharashtra and work with every farmer in the state to improve their livelihood. In Agatsu’s 5 year journey, the learnings have given
direction and confidence for the year ahead to go deeper, bringing mental-health knowledge to life in simple, creative, everyday ways — so it actually supports individuals, families and communities, the wider health system.

This change requires people to act unitedly. And with the run, the family’s appeal is simple: donate, share, and stay informed. Because every drop of knowledge, every act of care, and every kilometre run brings us closer—to water, to wellbeing, and to one another.
