About Akshay's Foundations

Akshay's Foundations is a charitable social welfare organization based in Chennai, India, founded by Shantipriya with the vision to uplift society through education and empowerment. Ms. Shantipriya was previously associated with Devalayaa (Management Committee 2000-2004), Satyam Yoga Trust (Corporate Training Secretary 2005-2012), and numerous other non-governmental organizations. The assignments included working on a variety of programs, including assisting blind students, supporting residents of old age homes, and helping orphanages.

​

These experiences were a catalyst and enabled the formation of the organization. The foundation operates under the tagline "Deed for the Need" with the vision of "uplifiting society through education and empowerment", and the mission "Saranalaya" - a sanctuary of love, power, and serenity (Prem-Shakti-Shanti).

​

Witnessing the hardships of disadvantaged and unsupported youngsters, whose gifts and potential sometimes disappear without proper guidance and support, we were fueled with a strong drive to prioritize social responsibility and transformative social actions. Our initiatives seek to contribute to society and assist those in need.

​

The mission, 'Saranalaya,' aims to create a sanctuary where love, peace, and empowerment flourish. The foundation is dedicated to nurturing and developing the student community by providing them with the tools and confidence needed to excel.
