Why Today

In January of 1961, American President John F. Kennedy stood before the crowd of his inauguration and announced, “The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty”. The same sentiment has been echoed consistently ever since, from such civil rights and political leaders as Nelson Mandela, to globally-renowned musicians like Bono; that ours is the generation with the means to end poverty.

The Gnanam Foundation was established to take steps towards realising the responsibility that this and future generations share; one in which time is up on poverty, starting today.
