Mission

The Desai Foundation cultivates dignity so that people can dream beyond their circumstances. We are driven to promote health, livelihood, and menstrual equity, particularly for those who are both traditionally underserved and powerful agents of social change: women and children. Working with the existing strengths of a community, we focus on providing a healthy life, the dignity of a job, and the fulfillment of an education.
