Creating Pathways to Dignity, Growth, and Inclusion

GiveLife is a non-profit organization established in 2008 and co-founded by Dr. Akhila Srinivasan (former Managing Director of Shriram Life Insurance Company) and Rev. Dr. Jegath Gaspar Raj (visionary founder of The Rise Global). We are committed to community welfare and transformative social impact through education, empowerment, and holistic development. Our efforts focus on equipping individuals with the skills and confidence needed to succeed.

We have supported the education of over 47,000 underprivileged children. To ensure their holistic growth, we've conducted over 400 interactive training sessions focusing on personality development, soft skills, and life competencies.

Our experimental school for children of migrant construction workers in Chennai was lauded as a worthy model, successfully ensuring access to quality education for some of the most marginalized sections of society.

Now our focus is to foster stronger industry-academia linkages and create pathways for meaningful employment. We achieve this by organizing mega job fairs, career counseling sessions, and skill development programs.

With a clear vision, GiveLife continues to drive social change by investing in the potential of every individual and creating pathways for meaningful employment.
