Who we are
The Ignite Foundation is a non-profit organization with its roots in Kerala, a southern state of India, where we have been working with young people since 2010. What began as an effort to encourage volunteering and promote social responsibility among youth has evolved into a focus on enabling young people to solve problems faced by vulnerable communities through social innovation.
What we do
We curate experiential learning journeys for young people to become problem-solvers in their communities through a range of programs, including leadership development programs, education for social change, and social entrepreneurship education.
Our Philosophy
We believe young people are central to a positive future and to developing solutions to current and emerging challenges. By placing youth development at the core of leadership development, we support young people to realize their potential and contribute to social change through inclusive and supportive learning environments.

We believe in the extensive possibilities of co-creation
Collaboration
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much
