This foundation is the realization of a lifelong vision to give back and make a meaningful impact in the society and there is no better time do that than now.

"So, whatever we are doing today was driven by a profound sense of empathy, guided by personal values, and deeply committed to social responsibility. I firmly believe that every individual, especially children, regardless of circumstance, deserves access to basic necessities and opportunities for growth and development", he said.
