LPF has been a great support in my life.
I am with LPF since 2011 andit feels great to be a part of the LPF Family. LPF not only provides us scholarships but also brings the best out of every girl by providing many skill-oriented programs which helps us in becoming more confident.
I regard Lila Mom and Firoz Dad as pillars of LPF and feel very blessed because of their presence in my life with the LPF Scholars.

LILA Juniors are very active than other students and it is because of Lila Poonawalla Foundation, that these girls have groomed themselves to an extent, where they can easily be differentiated from others.
The training programs which LPF arranges for LILA Juniors are unique. LPF is doing a very good job.

I am so proud that my daughter got the LPF Scholarship. Not many parents allow their daughters to study further because of financial constraints. Because of LPF, my daughter can complete her education. The training and skills enhancement workshop that LPF conducts helps my daughter to be bold and confident.

I have been working with LPF since last 8 years and it is quite encouraging to help promising girls in developing their skill sets. It is admirable and amazing that LPF has been upbringing girls by not just providing scholarship or sponsoring education, but helping them to be ready before starting to walk the career path.
I am proud to be associated with Lila Poonawalla Foundation.
