Crowdfunding initiative by Manipal Academy of Higher Education students to procure oxygen concentrators

Manipal Academy of Higher Education’s Formula Manipal is one of MAHE’s longest-running, most accomplished, and well-known student projects is partnering with professional non-profit alliance Swasth Foundation, to set an ambitious goal to raise enough funds required to procure approximately 8 High Flow Oxygen Concentrators`. Founded in 2009, Swasth Foundation is a non-profit social enterprise committed to health and joy for all. They focus on improving the well-being of the poor by providing a range of affordable and high-quality primary-preventive health services. They aspire to build a sustainable and accountable health ecosystem that delivers high-quality patient metric care.

Formula Manipal has decided to harness the power of social networks via ImpactGuru, a reliable crowdfunding platform, to collect donations for the financially weak members of our society currently facing medical emergencies. While ImpactGuru supports a diverse range of causes, aiding non-profits, personal and creative projects, we can all agree that in the post-pandemic world, healthcare financing can no longer be an option, it must be a priority. 

As a team of passionate and innovative students, they work together to design, conceptualize, fabricate, test, and race a single-seater, open-wheel Formula Style race car. Starting out as an idea in 2007, Formula Manipal has since come up with 9 extremely intriguing cars till date which have competed nationally and internationally on various platforms including Italy, UK, Austria, Germany, and the Czech Republic.
