Episode 17: Purvi Padia, on Reaching India's Forgotten Children

Today, 1.5 million children are growing up in residential institutions in India. Often poorly regulated, these facilities can leave children extremely vulnerable to exploitation and neglect. That's where Project Lion comes in. Founded by our guest, Purvi Padia, this program supports Indian children who’ve been left without family so that they can grow up in loving, protective environments. Ahead of New York City's India Day Parade, Purvi joins us to talk about the successes so far, and where Project Lion can go from here.
