Transforming Lives with Compassion and Care
Our mission
Jagriti Foundation is committed to gifting opportunities of personal rising up through care, education and community collaboration to empower women, girls and families to lead lives of hope with realised potential.
Our journey began in 2006
Jagriti is an old Sanskrit word that means to rise up, to gift hope. With a focus on women, girls and children in need, Jagriti Foundation aims to gift hope by wrapping around people’s needs to support rising up through love, care, and education.
Foundations in India
Founded in 2006, Jagriti Foundation began its mission with a focus on empowering women and children in impoverished communities in India. Our initial efforts provided nurturing care and enriching education, helping girls to lead self-sufficient, safe, and fulfilling lives. Today, these efforts have resulted in positive outcomes, as those we supported have grown into educated, independent, safe and loved women.
​
Expanding into New Zealand
In early 2019, Jagriti Foundation expanded its reach to New Zealand, where we were granted donee status. This expansion was driven by our commitment to understand and address the specific needs of local communities. Our focus is on making a substantial impact on the lives of women and their families throughout New Zealand, tailoring our support to meet the unique challenges they face.
​
Our work in New Zealand involves close cooperation with women and families navigating difficult circumstances, such as domestic violence, safety issues, and substance dependencies. We offer holistic support, which includes access to grief and addiction counselors, safe living environments, and opportunities for personal and professional development through parenting and strength-building counseling, job support, and training courses.
​Jagriti Foundation's initiatives are aligned with our core objectives: to foster education, healthcare, physical and emotional well-being, housing and shelter, community, and family support.

​
A significant aspect of our work is focused on personal pathways to healing for women committed to changing their lives. Through these comprehensive support services, we empower women and their families to overcome adversity and realise a future filled with hope.
​
Our commitment remains unwavering: to empower those in need to achieve independence and well-being, ensuring they have the support needed to thrive as integrated, respected members of society.
