ABOUT US
Fueling Change with Compassion and Purpose
Ignite Asha was founded in 2017 by Purva Shah and Dina Patel with a simple yet powerful vision: to build a nonprofit that our community could truly connect with—one rooted in purpose, transparency, and impact. Since then, Ignite Asha has grown into a thriving, volunteer-led organization fueled by a collective desire to create meaningful change. We support mission-driven nonprofits that are addressing critical issues with courage and compassion—many of which are under recognized or carry social stigma. Through a thoughtful selection process and deep community engagement, we aim to amplify their voices and help them grow.
Who We Are
Empowering Lives with Purpose and Heart

Access Life - 2023 Beneficiary
Access Life provides a vital bridge of hope for children undergoing cancer treatment in India. Many families travel from distant rural areas to reach major hospitals in Mumbai, often with no place to stay and limited resources. Access Life offers these families clean, safe, and supportive temporary housing close to hospitals—giving children a chance to heal in dignity, and parents the comfort of care and community. Their holistic model includes nutritious meals, emotional counseling, educational support, and medical guidance—transforming what could be a traumatic experience into one filled with resilience and compassion. For many families, Access Life marks the turning point in their fight against cancer—not just medically, but emotionally and spiritually.
Save A Mother - 2024 Beneficiary
Save A Mother is on a mission to reduce maternal and child mortality in some of the most underserved regions of India. Their grassroots model empowers local women to become health activists—educating their communities about prenatal care, safe childbirth practices, and newborn health. These women become trusted voices in villages where access to medical care and health education is often scarce. What makes Save A Mother truly transformative is the way it equips communities to care for their own. By focusing on sustainable behavioral change and local leadership, the organization creates a ripple effect that improves outcomes for generations. With your support, we can help provide the resources and opportunities needed for success.
