Vipula Kadri

Vipla Foundation

Vipla Foundation, formerly known as Save The Children India, was founded by Mrs Vipula Kadri after she encountered children sheltering at a Mumbai traffic signal during the monsoon. Working from Bandra East in Mumbai, it builds its programmes on two pillars — early interventions and system strengthening — so that children from vulnerable communities, including children with disabilities, can learn, grow and build self-reliant lives.

Vipla Foundation reports the following, on its own site:

• Reached over 2 lakh children and adolescents across India
• 1.2 Lakh reached through intervention in over 650 villages and slum areas
• 18,000+ women reached through employability skills training and enterprise development
• 2600+ survivors of trafficking rehabilitated through education and livelihood opportunities
