Shaheen Mistri visited the Bombay slums as a teenager, and never quite left.  She started Akanksha Foundation, to impact the lives of less privileged children through informal and formal education.  Over the past two decades, the organization has expanded from 15 children in one centre in 1989 to over 3,500 children in 58 centers and 6 schools.  Few years ago, Shaheen also pioneered Teach for India, a nationwide movement with the mission to build a movement of leaders who will eliminate inequity in education.  Today, several hundred TFI fellows are in daily contact with over 20,000 children.
