Tare Zameen Foundation

Tare Zameen Foundation (TZF) is a non-profit organisation registered in 2018 and based in New Delhi. It was founded by Bishikesan Saw. He says the foundation grew out of his mother's wish to help women stand on their own feet, to make sure no child goes hungry or without schooling, and to help people in need. The foundation says it believes every child deserves an education, every woman deserves dignity and everyone in need deserves hope. It calls its work "a movement of hearts" rather than charity. It works with volunteers, interns and corporate CSR partners

Leadership

• Bishikesan Saw, Founder

Tare Zameen Foundation is a small organisation in Delhi working directly with communities. Staff work close to the founder and see the work first-hand, across education, nutrition and women's empowerment. The foundation runs internships, volunteer roles and CSR projects, so the work also covers volunteer coordination, partnerships and fundraising. It suits people early in their careers who want broad, practical experience in community work in Delhi rather than a narrow specialist role.
