Michelle Stephens Profile 2: How The Mahaan Aasha Foundation Came To Be
I admire that Michelle Stephens, age 34, has made helping the children of India the focus of her life’s work through her creation of the Mahaan Aasha Foundation. India is a hard place to visit because of the extreme poverty. My heart was broken so deeply there I can’t imagine going back anytime soon. Yet she’s committed to going back every year to help more children and build human connection.
During the interview for Michelle’s profile (read part one here!), I decided that the making of the Mahaan Aasha Foundation is such an inspiring and courageous story in itself, it deserved its own profile.
So here it is, straight from Michelle’s mouth:
“The Mahaan Aasha (or Great Hope) Foundation is a nonprofit organization focused on helping destitute children in India. Through my recent travel there I’ve learned that the key to making a difference is through education, infrastructure, and humanity.”
