About Company

At our core lies the intention to ensure that nothing stops the children of India from learning, growing and flourishing.
This is why we build our programs on two major pillars – Early Interventions and System Strengthening. We believe that early interventions not only improve the quality of lives of our beneficiaries vastly, but also save time and stretched resources. To achieve the same effect sustainably and on a large scale, we collaborate with governments, institutions and other non-profit organisations. Our efforts in training, sensitizing and developing measuring systems help policy advocates and stakeholders make timely, effective decisions and changes.
At Vipla Foundation, we strive to achieve our goals with an approach that encourages ownership and makes us impact oriented. Our solutions account for every stakeholder’s opinion, ensuring that inclusivity stays at the heart of every transformation we lead. It is important that we always support each other, because as a collective we can bring change to the lives that need it the most.
