The Amba Dalmia Foundation Trust (ADFT) was born out of love, memory, and a promise. It was established by a family in honour of their beloved daughter, Amba — whose short yet radiant life was marked by kindness, quiet strength, and an innate sense of fairness.
The Foundation is her family’s way of carrying forward her spirit — creating for others what Amba was for them: a source of comfort, courage, and hope. ADFT was built for all who, at some point in their lives, needed an Amba by their side.
Our work goes beyond helping people in moments of crisis. We walk with them as they reclaim their dignity, find their voice, and rebuild their lives on their own terms. Because real change does not come from giving help alone — it comes from giving choices, confidence, and the courage to begin again.
At ADFT, our teams work closely on the ground — offering practical skills, mental health support, and safe spaces for healing and growth. Every program we create is shaped by listening, built with respect, and committed to lasting transformation.
Whether it is a woman earning her first income through tailoring, a child learning to manage emotions with confidence, or a young athlete discovering their strength on the tennis court — every story tells us the same truth:
You are more than where you come from. You are what you choose to become.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to equip marginalized communities, especially women and children, with the tools, mentorship, and life skills they need so poverty never stops their progress. We do this by blending education with sports and integrating holistic well-being initiatives.
We dream of an India where every individual, no matter their background, can unlock their full potential and lead a life of dignity, purpose, and true well-being. We envision vibrant communities built on strong foundations of holistic health, continuous learning, and equal opportunities.
Our each act is shaped by the direction of people who genuinely care for the under-served communities. More than being experienced professionals, our trustees are grounded in empathy, fairness, and a deep sense of duty. Their presence reminds us to act with clarity, stay aligned with our values, and always balance wisdom with heart.
Supportive institutions and organizations are our counterparts. Their support keeps us going.
Because impact deserves to be seen — explore our media moments.
Women from underserved communities, neurodivergent individuals, and children in need of support are welcome. We assess needs on a case-by-case basis.
