A non-profit organization founded in 2015

Small Wish International Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 2015. We work across the intersections of domains such as education, child welfare, environmental conservation, sustainability, skill development, and community development. We have designed grassroots models and implemented programs that have directly impacted over 10,000 people across India, providing education, fostering happy childhoods for children born into poverty, advancing community-led environmental conservation, and providing skills training to students.

Our Programs reached over 10,000 people

We provided education and fostered happy childhoods for 372 children living in poverty. We enabled 8,472 individuals and households to adopt sustainable practices, led community-led environmental conservation efforts such as lake restoration, clean-up drives, and forest plantation. We also provided world-class skills training to 192 students, more than 50% of whom were women. We are now scaling our programs across India and launching pilot programs in Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Bhutan, aiming to impact 1 million people by 2030.

Our research-backed grassroots models are 2.3x more efficient
and deliver 40% more impact than conventional development programs

We invested over 16,000 hours in research and transdisciplinary thinking to better understand and address pressing global challenges. This work began in 2015 and equipped us with the knowledge and expertise to design grassroots models adaptable to developing countries’ cultural, economic, and environmental realities, strengthening our ability to carry out grassroots development work. Once our models were ready, we piloted and rigorously tested them in resource-limited settings in India in 2019. The models achieved 2.3x cost efficiency and delivered 40% greater impact, validating our approach, establishing proof of concept, and showing that research-backed programs can outperform conventional development programs.
