Igniting Dreams exists to empower India's daily wage earners to build self-sufficient livelihoods.
Millions of hardworking Indians depend on daily wages to support their families. Yet, many remain trapped in cycles of financial instability and limited opportunities. Igniting Dreams aims to change that — by providing micro-grants, skills training, and business mentorship to help individuals launch sustainable sources of income and regain economic independence.
What began as a small effort to uplift local communities has grown into a movement — one that empowers people to dream beyond survival, and build a future rooted in dignity, purpose, and self-reliance.
