We provide healthcare access to India’s working poor through cash grants during a medical crisis. 

In India, 300-350 million workers earn meager incomes between $3-$5 dollars per day, while 65 million individuals struggle in poverty due to medical catastrophes.

 

In a country where the healthcare landscape leaves too many in the ‘unsweet’ spot—neither eligible for government support nor able to afford upfront medical expenses—families are left with unimaginable choices.

Our Story

Founded in 2018 by Gayatri Mathur, a distinguished professional in the field of physical therapy, our foundation emerged as a beacon of hope for the countless individuals and families caught in the web of India’s healthcare disparities and financial challenges.

 

With over three decades of experience as a clinician, researcher, and professor, Gayatri recognized the urgent need for change. She sought a new path, one that would tackle health inequity in India and infuse her every day with purpose and vitality.
