Women’s education is no doubt a powerful tool for improving the lives of children in developing countries. The Lila Poonawalla foundation is making a vital contribution to this area. The Lila Poonawalla Foundation, helps young women in India pursue higher education in engineering and other chosen fields. Founded by Lila Poonawalla, a business executive and the first Indian female CEO, the foundation focuses on the importance of education in creating a sustainable future for women and their families. Initially, the foundation started by giving scholarships to 50-60 girls every year, but since 2011, after collaborating with the IKEA Foundation and with their support, LPF has been able to reach out to many more talented, meritorious and financially deserving girls, especially from the rural areas.
