Based in Mumbai, with a Global vision, Touching Lives is a non-profit organization working towards providing opportunities for Learning, Healing, Art, Technology and Life-skills. Founded in 2003 by Sonia Mackwani with the value – ‘it is our need to serve than saying we are serving the needy’, the team of Touching Lives is guided by the mantras of Self-work*, Seva and Saadhna. Our work with children living in slums of Borivali and Dahisar in Mumbai is the core of our work. At Touching Lives Learning Center and Community Centers, the trained mentors (teachers) use therapeutic learning methods for the overall development of children. This involves integrating mental health, education and developing conscious parent-child relationship. LEARNING AND HEALING are continuous life-long and life-changing processes. When both are integrated, they help an individual to discover their gifts within, to recover from all the areas that limit them and to offer the best of them to this whole world. We thus provide a space which is safe, supportive and therapeutic for learning about oneself and this world.
