CHANGING LIVES PERMANENTLY

‘Give a man a fish he eats for a day, teach a man to fish he eats for a lifetime’          
                                                                                            - Ancient Chinese proverb.


In this context it means changing someone’s life for the better with the objective of making them self-reliant. One of the ways to do this is to provide education or teach useful skills that makes one employable. At the Ma Foi Foundation we believe that it is such empowerment that will enable disadvantaged children and youth break the shackles of poverty and overcome income disparity to realize their true potential.


The DISHA initiative is aimed at holistic development of children and has already had a huge impact on the children who are part of this initiative. From children who participated and won gold medals in National level sports competitions to school students who scored outstanding marks in tenth and twelfth board exams to college graduates who have landed jobs in big companies like Infosys, HP, HCL the impact is spread across different age groups.
