Deets: The Annual AIF Spring Awards Gala in New York has become a premiere Diaspora event, drawing an audience of hundreds of the area’s most prominent leaders in business, politics, philanthropy, media and the arts. The Gala will showcase personal and corporate leadership and philanthropy, as well as investment in India. It will also highlight AIF’s Learning and Migration Program (LAMP) which educates and nurtures children in areas of high seasonal migration. LAMP, which was instrumental in identifying distressed seasonal migration as a critical issue facing India, works in some of the most remote regions of the country in highly neglected communities that lack access to education. LAMP provides these children, most of whom are the first in their families to receive an education, with access to continuous, quality, and age-appropriate education. The program provides resources to attend local schools, stable home and educational environments, as well as safe and structured care in seasonal residential hostels during migration season.
The American India Foundation is committed to catalyzing social and economic change in India and building a lasting bridge between the United States and India through high-impact interventions in education, livelihoods, public health, and leadership development. Working closely with local communities, AIF partners with NGOs to develop and test innovative solutions and with governments to create and scale sustainable impact. AIF has impacted the lives of more than 1.9 million of India’s poor and aims to reach 5 million by 2018. President Bill Clinton serves as Honorary Chair and Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen Chairs the Advisory Council. Learn more at aif.org.
