A heartfelt summary of Vipul Jain’s initiative during the lockdown, how it grew from a single parking space into 3 centers reaching 200+ kids.
Vipul Jain’s journey with Asha Kiran Foundation began from a simple, heartfelt gesture—teaching a handful of underprivileged children in a parking lot, armed only with basic supplies and a borrowed whiteboard. Troubled by seeing children begging or working on the streets instead of attending school, Vipul engaged them with just one question: “Do you want to study?” To his surprise, every child said yes
Vipul Jain is the visionary founder and driving force behind Asha Ki Kiran Foundation. With a deep commitment to societal transformation, he established the foundation with a singular goal: to educate every child and empower every woman in the nation. His mission is rooted in the belief that dignity, education, and opportunity are the cornerstones of sustainable change.
