Our Story
A Personal Mission for Change
We are two old friends and classmates who have walked diverse paths in life, from the bustling boardrooms of multinational corporations to the serene corridors of esteemed hospitals around the world. Our bond, forged in the classrooms and dormitories of our youth, remains strong, and it is this camaraderie that has brought us together to embark on a mission close to our hearts: to reshape the future of underprivileged communities in India through Lifting Soulz Foundation.
Why We Care:
We vividly remember our own childhoods filled with opportunities, guidance, and support that allowed us to become who we are today. The privilege of a good education and access to quality healthcare were the cornerstones of our success. As we reconnect and reflect on our journeys, we recognize a shared desire to give back, to create similar opportunities for children who are not as fortunate. This deep-seated commitment to making a difference is what drives us.
Empowering Education:
Education has always been the cornerstone of our lives. It’s the beacon that guided us from our humble beginnings to where we stand today. At Lifting Soulz Foundation, we are passionate about empowering education. We proudly support the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Residential School for Boys in Uttarakhand.
This institution is more than just a school; it’s a sanctuary where disadvantaged children can thrive. Our curriculum goes beyond traditional academics, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning. We aim to ignite the same passion for knowledge that once fueled our own ambitions.
Caring for Health and Well-being:
Our commitment extends beyond the classroom. We know that good health is fundamental to a child’s ability to learn and grow. That’s why we ensure these children have access to vital healthcare, immunizations, and routine medical assessments. We run workshops that educate children and their families about the importance of sound health practices and preventative care. We believe that healthy children are better equipped to pursue their dreams.
Holistic Approach:
What sets Lifting Soulz apart is our holistic approach to child development. We recognize that education and health are deeply interconnected. Our foundation places a child’s well-being at the forefront, addressing their physical, emotional, and intellectual needs. By creating a nurturing environment, we allow children to flourish and reach their full potential. We are not just building better students; we are nurturing better human beings.
Partnership and Expansion:
In partnership with the Giving Hands Foundation, we are poised to broaden our impact. By collaborating with like-minded organizations, we aim to extend our reach and resources. Our steadfast commitment to pouring resources into the education and health of marginalized youths is unwavering. Together, we are dedicated to fostering a more just and equitable future.
Our Promise:
We are a group of business leaders and medical practitioners, but more importantly, we are dreamers and doers. Our shared history and values inspire us to take action. Through the Lifting Soulz Foundation, we are united in our promise to break the cycle of poverty and to be a beacon of hope for the underprivileged children of India. This is not just our mission; it’s our heartfelt promise to create a world where every child has the opportunity to succeed and lead a healthy, fulfilling life.
We invite you to join us on this journey. Together, we can make a difference.
