About Santosh Devi Foundation
The Santosh Devi Foundation, named in honor of the late Santosh Devi, was born out of a vision to create lasting social change and uplift those in need. Our journey began with a deep-rooted desire to make a tangible difference in the lives of India's marginalized communities.
The Inspiration: Santosh Devi
Santosh Devi, whose memory we cherish and honor through our work, was a beacon of kindness and compassion. Her life, dedicated to serving others and helping those in need, inspired the formation of this foundation. Her belief in the power of empathy and action to transform lives laid the groundwork for our mission and values.
The Founding: A Vision Turned Reality
The Santosh Devi Foundation was established by Dr. Kamini Sharma and Dr. Shivam Vats, two individuals united by a shared vision of societal improvement and driven by the legacy of Santosh Devi. Their expertise in healthcare and education, respectively, became the pillars upon which the foundation was built. Dr. Sharma's proficiency in healthcare administration, coupled with her passion for community health initiatives, brings a compassionate touch to the medical programs initiated by the foundation. Simultaneously, Dr. Vats' innovative approach to education and commitment to nurturing young minds forms the cornerstone of the foundation's educational initiatives.
