The Desai Foundation celebrated its groundbreaking achievement of impacting 10 million lives through a digital billboard in Times Square, highlighting the organization’s work in rural India. The landmark display symbolizes the foundation’s global reach and commitment to empowering women and children through health, livelihood, and menstrual equity programs.
Executive Director Mittal Gohil emphasized the collaborative nature of this milestone, crediting the foundation’s teams, the communities served, and its dedicated supporters.
“To see our work celebrated in the heart of Times Square is a powerful reminder that our stories — and the stories of those we serve — belong on the world stage,” said Megha Desai, President of The Desai Foundation.
The organization hopes that the billboard will generate buzz about the 12th annual Diwali on the Hudson, a premier philanthropic event that showcases South Asian culture while supporting grassroots initiatives.
Diwali on the Hudson will return this fall, as an evening of cultural celebration and philanthropic impact.
