Ten Years, Just Getting Started.

In the last ten years, from 2015 to 2025, we have laid strong foundations, refined our models, and steadily expanded our impact.
Between 2015 and 2019, we invested over 16,000 hours in intensive, interdisciplinary research, deeply studying global challenges and designing scalable, context-specific models to address them effectively.

This immersive, interdisciplinary research equipped us with unparalleled expertise to design innovative grassroots models uniquely adaptable to the cultural, economic, and environmental realities of the communities we serve—a rarity in grassroots development work.
From 2019 to 2022, we piloted three programs across India, rigorously testing and optimizing our models to ensure they could thrive in resource-limited settings and deliver measurable impact.

Our models achieved 2.3x cost efficiency and delivered 40% higher impact than traditional approaches.These successful pilots validated our approach and demonstrated that thoughtful, research -driven innovation can outperform conventional development strategies.
Since 2022, through full-time field execution, we have expanded our programs and delivered impact at scale, reaching over 10,000 people. This includes improving the lives of 372 children living in poverty, enabling 8,472 individuals to embrace sustainable living practices, and equipping 192 individuals with transformative skills.

Alongside program expansion, we strengthened our organization to prepare for large-scale impact, streamlining operations, optimizing program delivery, and building the capacity for global scale.
After a decade of laying strong foundations and strengthening our capabilities, we are now set to impact 1 million individuals by 2030 and create meaningful change at a global scale. To achieve this goal, we are opening pathways for fundraising through corporate partnerships, government grants, international grants, and retail fundraising.

Alongside this, we are rolling out pilot projects across South Asia, including Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Bhutan, over the next five years, expanding our reach and deepening our mission-driven work across the region.
