Transforming lives in South Asia
South Asia is home to 27% of the world's poorest people. 730 million people there are surviving on less than $2.5 a day.
We work with the South Asian diaspora, as well as businesses, government, foundations and civil society, to build programmes that support vulnerable people in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
The key focus areas of our work are: education, livelihoods, anti-trafficking and mental health.
