Shield Foundation (India)

Shield Foundation (India) Shield Foundation is creating an ecosystem to provide holistic relief to the elderly Mrs.

Since its inception in 2010, Shield Foundation has been the embodiment of dedication and compassion, thanks to our visionary founder, Mrs. Swati Ingole, a seasoned social worker with a wealth of experience from her work with international non-profits. Ingole's passion for serving the elderly, supported by our co-founders, has been the driving force behind our journey. Over the past 14 years, Shiel

d has evolved into a multi-centric organization, boasting a team of over 30 staff members and numerous volunteers. Our growth is a testament to years of unwavering dedication and resilience. In 2023, our commitment to excellence was recognized when we were honored as one of the "TOP 20 MOST TRUSTED NGO’S OF THE YEAR," an accolade bestowed upon us by the esteemed editorial team of Brand Honchos Media. This prestigious recognition reaffirms our position as a beacon of trust and reliability in the realm of social service. Shield Foundation's impact extends far beyond accolades and recognition. At the heart of our mission lies a genuine desire to provide holistic care to the elderly population of Dharavi and beyond. Through innovative approaches and strategic partnerships, we not only address the immediate needs of seniors but also empower women from underprivileged backgrounds, creating a ripple effect of positive change in the community. As Confucius once said "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." We are committed to upskilling youth and women with lower education status through various training programs such as Nursing Assistant Course, ITES BPO, Tailoring, and Jewelry making. These courses not only equip participants with practical skills for employment but also include soft skills training and placement assistance. By making individuals financially independent, we not only transform their lives but also cultivate a stronger, more resilient society. Through our holistic approach to empowerment, we aim to create a community where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and contribute meaningfully.
