Bio: Dr. Abraham George is a renowned philanthropist and social entrepreneur, best known for founding the Shanti Bhavan School in India. Since 1997, the residential school has helped hundreds of children from the poorest sections get free education and achieve successful careers.

Shanti Bhavan started with only 48 children, and over 27 years, has changed the lives of 15,000+ people. 98% of its students are college graduates, with many making it to Ivy League institutes like Stanford, Dartmouth, and Princeton. The 2017 Netflix documentary Daughters of Destiny centers on Shanti Bhavan’s efforts to educate and empower girls.

The George Foundation supports several other initiatives dedicated to poverty alleviation, education, health, and empowerment of women, such as community development projects in housing, vocational training, and the provision of safe drinking water; social entrepreneurship programs employing poor women in farming projects; and the Baldev Medical & Community Center that serves 17 villages and over 16,000 people
