The Desai Foundation empowers women and children in India through impactful health and livelihood initiatives. Rooted in the belief that local communities should lead change, we focus on restoring dignity and expanding opportunities. Originally a Boston-based family foundation, we evolved into a nonprofit with a dedicated branch in India. Founded by Samir and Nilima Desai, our work began 27 years ago in Gujarat, later expanding to New York and Boston. Through partnerships and sustainable programs, we’ve created lasting impact. Our founders remain deeply committed, matching donations to support our mission. Together, we uplift communities and create a brighter future
