“A corporate lawyer and social activist, Ms. Neha Sethi founded BASTA with a vision to bring the light of education into the lives of millions of children in India. Her mission is inspired by personal hardships in the way of her education, and she is determined to help children gain unrestricted access to quality education. After witnessing children being sent for child labor despite free education in government schools, Ms. Sethi made the decision to establish BASTA to help them afford educational supplies and spread awareness among their parents. Over the years, the foundation came across cases of child abuse and even trafficking and Ms. Sethi has empathetically helped the victims get help from the authorities.”
