Lotus Petal Foundation

November 2011 saw the birth of Lotus Petal Foundation, a non-profit set up by a young professional, Kushal Raj Chakravorty, with the objective of helping children in the urban slums of India lead better lives and get access to quality education and healthcare. Access to quality education, basic healthcare, and a secure life of dignity is still a distant dream for the underprivileged in India. Each year, 5 million children are deprived of access to primary education. The inequality is stark and concerns a few young professionals who were busy living their lives from one deadline to the other. Today, Lotus Petal Foundation has benefited 7800 children & adults, and its programs adhere to the sustainable development goals set by the United Nations.
