I feel that engaging with causes I truly believe in, helps me give back to society in my own way and in a way I know best. The title I won holds a special place in my heart as it not only honours my work empowering society but also helps and motivates me to continue to do this work that will impact millions of lives.”
“Shreya and I are co-conspirators on everything we do towards the betterment of young girls and women.

She represents the finest human spirit in supporting our girls and mothers on our overarching masthead called MADE (Mother And Daughter Empowerment)with Project Hope.

On partnering with Hopeworks Foundation, Shreya said, “In 2024, my aim with HopeWorks Foundation is, to take their work deeper into areas and regions where young women and mothers of young girls are equipped with the power and potential to be able to gain opportunities they otherwise wouldn’t have. The foundation focuses on shortening the lifespan of accessing advanced careers quickly, rather than waiting for a long time to get there. Additionally, it aims to help mothers achieve financial independence through entrepreneurship programs. This initiative strives to create better outcomes and opportunities for underprivileged communities, fostering greater inclusion and success for future generations.”
