from our leadership

Dear Friends,

India’s most precious resource is its people and the major challenge is how to ensure that all Indians have access
to the necessities of life such as education, health and dignified livelihoods. India’s demographic dividend is
wasted when a child is not able to learn in school, when a mother loses her child due to lack of adequate health
facilities, and when young people don’t have the skills needed for meaningful work. It doesn’t have to be this way.

The American India Foundation (AIF) is working with a range of partners, including various governments in
India, to build human capital so people living in poverty have the opportunity to realize their true potential. We
address this by building innovative systems that empower communities and leverage cross-sector partnerships
and by building bridges to connect people, cultures, and ideas between the world’s two largest democracies –
India and the United States.

Focused on women, children and youth and leveraging technology, during the last 18 years, AIF has contributed
to impact the lives of more than 4.6 million of India’s poor through innovative programs in education, public
health and livelihoods. The results indicate that there are good returns on our investments.

The public health program, Maternal and Newborn Survival Initiative (MANSI), has helped to reduce newborn
mortality by 46% and child mortality by 44% in the geographies it operates.

The Learning and Migration Program (LAMP), one of our education interventions, created learning improvement
by nearly 3 times in math, science and language and improved the high school transition rate by 93%.

The livelihood programs have provided employability skills to more than 134,000 unemployed people including
14,000 people with disabilities that are often left behind.

The William J Clinton Fellowship for Service in India has empowered around 450 young Americans and Indians
through an opportunity to serve organizations working to bring about lasting social change through replicable,
scalable and sustainable projects.

Working across the verticals of public health, education and livelihoods, AIF’s programs have holistically enriched
the lives of those we serve and strengthened and uplifted communities and eco-systems. All AIF programs and
activities contribute directly to the UN Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs, which are a universal call to
action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.

As we look back at the past year, we are grateful to you, our supporters, who have made so much possible for
the people we serve. Our people and our Board colleagues are passionate advocates for putting our shoulder
to the wheel to enable all Indians, regardless of their circumstances, to have the best possible access to jobs
and quality of life. We look forward to a future where India is defined by harnessing its immense resources and
opportunities and not by its limitations.
