Paying it Forward
Adhyan is a non-profit trust that works to support vulnerable women and children. We aspire to invest in and give hope to families, women and children in need by equipping them with the skills, tools and the mindset to overcome difficulties and chart their own destinies as productive members of society. At Adhyan we know that by enabling women to be their own changemakers, we can change the world. As women rise, so do their children, families, and communities. It is this salient belief that motivates our purpose.
Adhyan was founded by Priya Joseph. Our areas of focus are derived from her own life experiences. What started as a small campaign to pay it forward is now growing, as it transforms lives of women and children across India.
"Adhyan stands for one who is rising. As women rise, so do our children, our homes, and our communities.”
- Priya Joseph, Founder

At Adhyan, we work towards investing in women and children to give them significant and long-lasting benefits in quality of life, productivity, health, economic and social well-being.

Our Funding Philosophy
2020 and 2021 have been years of global crisis. We’ve seen how deeply entrenched power imbalances in our society have drastic consequences for the most vulnerable in challenging times.
With the difficulties faced by nonprofits in mind, Adhyan chooses to adopt a trust-based model of philanthropy. We fund organizations at every level of their work from capacity-building and operational support to leadership and learning.
