After over 7 years as our Executive Director, Gouri Sadhwani has decided to transition out of her role over the next few months. Under Gouri’s leadership our income increased by over 1000% allowing us to significantly increase grant making towards Akanksha’s 21 schools in India.

We are extremely grateful for her leadership. The Board is searching for our next Executive Director and hope to share an update with you on this soon.

Thank you for your continued support of Akanksha’s work!
