Swaniti improves quality of life in the most marginalized communities in India by converging the efforts of government and civil society agencies to effectively deliver services. It places small teams of highly proficient public policy and management professionals in the most needed levels of governments to identify root causes of programmatic failures and create interventions to overcome program delivery gaps. Some examples of its impact: Swaniti doubled enrollment of construction workers through its social protection programs by simplifying the processes and facilitating a consortium of 35 NGO partners and policymakers to include migrant worker records and tracking into the Social Protection Bill of 2020. “It’s all about us going in and saying, ‘you tell us what doesn’t work in governance, and we’ll work with you to help overcome that,’” says Rwitwika Bhattacharya, Founder, and CEO of Swaniti Initiative. https://www.swaniti.com/ Video Credits Cinematographer - Rajat Agarwal Editors - Simran Chandnani & Matthew Beighley Producer - Gabriel Diamond Film supported by Skoll Foundation https://skoll.org/

Road crashes claim 1.35 million lives globally each year, primarily impacting low- and middle-income countries like India. Tragically, half of those who die have treatable injuries. SaveLIFE Foundation improves road safety and emergency care in India, leading to sustained, measurable improvements in infrastructure design, enforcement frameworks, and access to quality care. SaveLIFE reduces the number and severity of road traffic injuries and deaths by combining data analysis, demonstration implementation, and policy advocacy to strategically align stakeholders across India’s public, private, and social sectors. SaveLIFE’s model is built on using data and technology to identify high-risk zones on dangerous roads, conducting scientific crash investigations, and designing and testing interventions to reduce crashes and prevent fatalities. They collaborate with government partners who implement recommended road safety changes, including improvements in trauma care. SaveLIFE leverages their team’s expertise to advocate for policy improvements and partners with local, state, and national governments to build capacity and assist in policy implementation. SaveLIFE has brought solutions to major transportation corridors in 15 Indian states, trained more than 20,000 first responders in basic life support, and achieved four national policy changes. Since 2021, through its partnership with India’s Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, SaveLIFE has scaled its Zero Fatality Corridor (ZFC) model to the top 100 most dangerous highways in the country, and successfully reduced fatalities on several highways. Piyush Tewari is the founder and CEO of the SaveLIFE Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to improving road safety and trauma care in India since 2008. Renowned for securing a Good Samaritan Law for India and creating an effective model to cut highway fatalities, Tewari was named to the National Road Safety Council by the Indian government in 2021, serving on its highest road safety policy board. He earned his Bachelor's degree in IT from Delhi University and his Master's in Public Administration from Harvard University. His accolades include the Elevate Prize 2023 and the Rolex Award for Enterprise 2010. Tewari is recognized as an Ashoka Fellow, Echoing Green Fellow, Rainer Arnhold Fellow, World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, and a DRKF Entrepreneur. He has been featured in The New York Times, National Geographic, Times of India, and Time magazine. Before founding SaveLIFE, he was the Managing Director at Calibrated Group, a U.S. based private equity fund, and left to start SaveLIFE after a family member's fatal road accident. He also worked as Program Manager at the India Brand Equity Fund, an initiative led by the Prime Minister of India. https://savelifefoundation.org/ Visit the SaveLIFE profile page on Skoll.org: https://skoll.wf/4a5KKtp Video Credits Co-Director/Producer: Gabriel Diamond Co-Director/Editor: Matthew Beighley Executive Producer: Phil Collis Camera: Rajat Agarwal, Gabriel Diamond Story Advisors: Anwesha Roy Choudhury, Karuna Raina, Kathie Paul Wilkerson, Kathryn Harrison About the Skoll Awards For Social Innovation The Skoll Foundation presents the Skoll Awards for Social Innovation each year to a select group of social innovators whose work targets the root causes of societal problems that are ripe for transformational social change. https://skoll.org/about/skoll-awards/ MB01OAS460SWSCD

Noora Health improves patient outcomes and strengthens health systems by equipping families and loved ones with life-saving caregiving skills. Noora Health has trained nearly two million caregivers and patients across more than 200 hospitals and nearly 100 clinics in India and Bangladesh. Their intervention reduces cardiac surgery complications by 71 percent and newborn readmissions by 56 percent. https://skoll.org/organization/noora-health/ Edith Elliott Edith Elliott is the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Noora Health, an international non-profit that improves patient outcomes and strengthens health systems through the power of family caregiving. Noora collaborates with hospitals and clinics in India and Bangladesh to equip patients’ loved ones with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to provide care at home confidently and effectively. Our work prevents newborn complications, reduces hospital readmissions, increases health-seeking behaviors, alleviates stress on health systems, and brings families and communities together. Edith’s work is rooted in the belief that the best solutions in global health are often the simplest — and the most overlooked. She believes that everyone, everywhere, deserves the agency and human dignity associated with access to high quality healthcare, and that no one should suffer from a preventable condition. Having been a caregiver herself unexpectedly at a young age, she understands the universal feelings of confusion, anxiety, and distress that come with the work, and strives to infuse that level of empathy across Noora’s programs. Shahed Alam, MD, MHS Shahed Alam is the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Noora Health, a non-profit organization that unleashes the power of patients and their family members by training them with skills to improve clinical outcomes, provide care, and save lives. Noora’s programs have reached nearly two million family caregivers across hundreds of hospitals and clinics in India and Bangladesh and have been shown to prevent newborn complications, reduce hospital readmissions, and increase health-seeking behaviors. As the son of immigrants to the U.S., Shahed saw firsthand the barriers his family and other minorities faced while navigating the health system. He saw the struggles and triumphs of his own mother, who cared for his grandmother through a devastating neurological condition. It wasn’t until medical school that he began to understand the power of informal caregivers; people like his mother who work tirelessly to care for the people they love because there’s nowhere else to turn. From his first conversation with patients and families in the U.S. and in India, he observed the powerful role families could play as a core part of healthcare delivery. These indelible experiences shaped Noora’s core values: to lead with empathy and always begin by listening. https://www.noorahealth.org/ VIDEO CREDITS Rajat Agarwal - Camera Matthew Beighley - Editor/Co-Director Gabriel Diamond - Director/Producer/Camera Phil Collis, Ben Pine, James Pippin - Executive Producers

This is a short documentary about the Night Schools near Tilonia village, Rajasthan. In spite of the lockdown due to COVID because of community demand and pressure the Solar Night Schools have again started in Rajasthan. They are located in remote villages where there are no government day schools. Where the government buildings are available the night schools are held there at night. Poorest children from the ST/SC/OBC families come to these schools. More girls come to the schools than boys.

I had the incredible opportunity to capture the inspiring work of OneProsper International and GRAVIS in the Thar Desert of India. Experience the life-changing impact of Project Parivartan and how it transformed the lives of countless girls, including Pooja, liberating them from hours of water-fetching and breaking the cycle of illiteracy and poverty for women and girls in the region.
