Every morning, I wake up in a new place, put on my backpack, and start walking again toward India.

My name is Jaydip Lakhankiya, and I am The Climate Walker. I am walking approximately 12,000 km from Malta to India to raise awareness about climate change, waste, pollution, and the responsibility we all have to care for the places we live in and pass through.

This journey crosses approximately 20 countries over around 18 months.

But this is not adventure tourism.

This is a climate awareness campaign through visible daily action.

Every day on the road, I collect one bag of garbage.

I know one bag of waste will not solve the climate crisis. But it is real. It is visible. It is something anyone can understand. I started this walk because I did not want to only speak about climate change from a distance. I wanted to live the message on the road, one step at a time.

Climate change can feel too big for one person. Plastic waste, pollution, and environmental damage can feel overwhelming. But I believe action does not always have to begin with something big. Sometimes it begins with one person, one road, one bag of garbage, and one simple message:

Every person can do something.

Some days are beautiful. Some days are exhausting.

I walk through cities, villages, borders, rural roads, and unfamiliar places. I face long walking hours, changing weather, sore feet, tired legs, rain, heat, difficulty finding safe places to sleep, and the constant need to stay connected, film the journey, and keep moving safely.

This journey is already underway, and support is needed to keep it going.

Your donation helps me continue this climate walk safely and responsibly. Funds will be used only for basic journey needs, including:

• Food and drinking water
• Safe accommodation when needed
• Shoes, socks, and weather-appropriate clothing
• First-aid supplies and basic health needs
• Mobile data, charging, and communication
• Filming and documentation of the journey
• Cleanup supplies, including garbage bags and gloves
• Local transportation only when necessary for safety, borders, or logistics
• Emergency support if unexpected problems happen on the road

This is not about luxury.

It is about staying safe, staying healthy, staying connected, documenting the journey, and keeping the climate awareness message alive.

Every donation helps me walk another day. It helps me continue collecting waste, sharing the message, meeting people along the route, and showing that climate action can be simple, visible, and human.

This walk is not only about me. It is about the people I meet, the roads I travel, the communities I pass through, and the message we can carry together.

If you believe in climate awareness, environmental responsibility, cleanup action, sustainability, or the power of one person taking visible action, please consider donating.

If you cannot donate, sharing this GoFundMe can still make a powerful difference. One share can help me find support, a safe place to sleep, a local cleanup partner, a media opportunity, or someone who wants to walk with me for a short part of the road.

I am walking from Malta to India with one simple belief:

Every step can carry a message, and every person can do something.

Thank you for supporting The Climate Walker.
