About Company

hwani Foundation is founded by experienced entrepreneurs and professionals from the corporate and development sectors. The journey began when the founding team realized the need for strengthening nonprofits to drive better impact on the ground.

After years of supporting NGOs as donors, Manju Kuchhal and MJ Aravind observed that many nonprofits fell short of their objectives. The NGOs they came across were committed to the cause, and had worked for years in challenging circumstances, deeply connected to their communities. Yet the lack of processes and executing capacity stopped them from reaching their full potential. They realized grassroots organizations needed something beyond funds, to make them effective.
