Our People
AID has been extremely fortunate to have some extraordinary individuals who have decided to devote their lives to social work in India. We are privileged to have formed partnerships with exceptional individuals as they work at the grassroots to 'be the change we wish to see in the world. They are our Saathis and Jeevansaathis.
Jeevansaathi
More than anything else, it is committed people who devote time and energy, that are critically needed to address challenges of the society. As AID expanded to various US cities in the late 1990's, some of its volunteers quit their regular jobs in the USA and began to focus their full attention on India's challenges by working directly with marginalize communities. Highly educated NRIs inspired by AID to get directly involved in rural and sustainable development add a valuable dimension to the existing pool of excellent social activists of India . In AID, their work has provided new insights, opened up new directions and helped forge effective collaborations thereby directing AID’s energies to some of the most pressing grassroots issues. We proudly call them our Jeevansaathis, implying lifelong commitment to the cause.

SaathiAID recognizes certain outstanding social and environmental activists in India with "Saathi" awards. Since they are highly creative, committed and motivated individuals, we wish to support them in a manner that allows them freedom to operate without the constraints of a specific time-bound project. The program creates a mutually enriching relationship between AID and the Saathi and entails not only support in the form of a stipend, but also non-monetary involvement and strategic support from AID volunteers. Saathis are a source of great inspiration to AID volunteers, and provide insight into development dynamics. Please click here to know about our Saathis.
