Climate change doesn’t only affect ecosystems, it disrupts lives.

 

In regions increasingly impacted by extreme heat, flooding, and unpredictable weather, many migrant farm workers are forced to move frequently in search of stable work. As a result, their children often lack a permanent home, consistent schooling, and a sense of security.

 

For many of these children, hostels and community homes become their only stable environment — a place of safety amid constant movement.

​

In response, I began a small but deeply meaningful initiative.

 

Over the past year, I hand-crocheted and donated 50+ stuffed animals to children living in a hostel for the children of migrant farm workers in Gujarat, India — many of whom have been directly affected by climate-related displacement.

 

Each toy was designed and crafted by hand, intended to provide comfort, familiarity, and a sense of care for children navigating instability at a young age.
