About Company

The journey that has lasted a decade, started with a single name – Hans. The idea was simple – to pay homage to the lives of Shri Hans Ji Maharaj and his wife Shri Rajeshwari Devi, spiritual leaders who preached a message of love and universal brotherhood. When we originally discussed how best we could credit Shri Hans’s work and add to his gifts to society, it was decided that philanthropy would best serve those goals. And thus in April 2009, we registered the name The Hans Foundation. That was the easy part.
As the foundation took its first steps, we soon realized that though rescue and relief of a charitable nature would always be an essential part of the work – or as my mother calls it ‘work of the heart’ – it was important to glimpse into the future and create pathways to sustainability and independence – or in other words ‘work of the head’.

We dreamed big from the get-go. We never restricted ourselves to one state or region. We purposefully kept away from religious and communal divides. Our basic tenet was and remains to provide and improve access. That no one in our big, beautiful country should be bereft of clean water or the right to send their children to school. No one should die of lack of medicine or doctors. Children have to be provided the tools to pursue their dreams and accomplish great things. Disabled people have the same basic human rights and dreams and need support to realize those dreams. Every farmer in India should have access to technology and methods to improve his path in life. And that is how I see the foundation today. A means for many.
