Our Vision

 We actively connect with the deaf community of color, creating meaningful partnerships and fostering inclusivity. Through open dialogue and collaboration, we ensure their voices are heard and their experiences are shared, building a strong foundation for growth. 

 We provide tools, resources, and opportunities that strengthen the capabilities of deaf individuals. By promoting education, skill development, and self-advocacy, we aim to inspire confidence and independence. 

 We celebrate and amplify the achievements of the deaf community of color, highlighting their stories and contributions. Through advocacy and awareness, we work to dismantle barriers and pave the way for a more equitable future. 

 A Back-to-School Donation Drive was organized to support deaf youths and teachers as they prepare for the academic year. The drive focuses on providing essential school supplies, adaptive learning tools, and resources tailored to their needs, empowering them to excel in their education and beyond. 

  The holiday donation drive for deaf youths was a huge success! Your kindness brought joy to children in need this holiday season. 

 We are proud to have partnered with MADA (Metro Asian Deaf Association) to deliver a successful STEM Series for Deaf and CODA youth in Summer 2024. The program was a resounding success, captivating young minds and fostering genuine excitement for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

As a founder, my mission is to empower deaf individuals, particularly those from minority backgrounds, through improved access to education and social support tools. I believe these resources are crucial for enhancing their quality of life, fostering independence, and ensuring their full participation in society.  

  My extensive work experience in advising students on career planning and developing their career readiness and job search skills at Gallaudet University’s Career Center, the only Liberal Arts university for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing students in the world, has put me in a position to see the lack of opportunities and need for real world preparation of our graduating students. My experiences placing students and my own life within the Deaf community will benefit NamBi Foundation’s mission and projects.  

  I was born and raised in Mumbai, India and was mainstreamed in hearing school and universities without any accomodation. Then I moved to USA and became more active in  Deaf community and volunteering in Metro South Asian Deaf Association. I completed my Master of Public Administration in Gallaudet University. NamBi Foundation’s vision match with my passion to assist Deaf to be able to stand for themselves.  

  I support the cause that the nonprofit organization is being formed for. To help the people who have certain disabilities to bring out the best out of them who can make a difference in their lives and lives of others by giving them the right tools.  

 My father was my role model and was dedicated to his cause as a doctor, in helping people in poverty to receive low cost or free medical care. I hoped to instill the same spirit as my father into NamBi Foundation.
