Suhani Jalota
Founder of Myna Mahila Foundation
Myna Mahila Foundation is a charity which empowers women in Mumbai’s urban slums, by providing them with a trusted network, where they are supported professionally and personally to help them grow as individuals and businesswomen. Myna offers women from these communities stable employment close to their homes, and breaks taboos around menstrual hygiene by offering women access to low cost sanitary pads and accurate information at their doorstep.
Providing mothers in the community with these products helps them equip their daughters to stay in school. The pads are manufactured and distributed by women from these communities. The charity also empowers its staff through training in women's health, English, Math, and life skills such as self-defense.
Jeff Muti
Co-founder and Board President, The Arthur Project
The Arthur Project builds economic and social mobility for at-risk youth through unprecedented levels of intensive, professional mentoring, project-based civic engagement, and critical life skills development.
The Arthur Project (TAP) envisions a world where every child has a caring adult engaged in their lives to champion their most critical needs. TAP takes a unique approach to mentoring, providing full-time, trained and supervised mentors to at-risk children for the entire duration of their middle school years. TAP’s approach to mentoring was born out of its co-founder, Liz Murray’s personal change in life trajectory from homeless to Harvard (a journey commemorated in Liz’s memoir and the original Lifetime Television film documenting her story).PLANNING COMMITTEE
