About Ladli Foundation

Ladli Foundation is an internationally recognized grassroots NGO dedicated to advancing gender equality, improving women’s health, and safeguarding human rights for marginalized communities. Since its inception, the organization has transformed the lives of over 3 million beneficiaries through innovative social programs in education, health, life skills, and sustainable living.

The foundation was established by Devendra Kumar , a globally acclaimed social reformer who rose from extreme adversity—once a child laborer abandoned in a slum—to becoming a respected human rights advocate at the United Nations. His journey and leadership have shaped Ladli Foundation into a movement of compassion, innovation, and equity.

With special consultative status at the United Nations ECOSOC (since 2020) and collaborations across government, industry, and international agencies, Ladli Foundation continues to expand its global footprint across the U.S., Europe, Africa, and Asia.
