350 Children, One Unforgettable 2023 Drive

Long before the headlines, the work was already happening. In 2023, Nizi Bhandari and the Iva and Shiv Foundation put school supplies into the hands of 350 children.

The story

Quietly building a movement

The Iva and Shiv Foundation began giving in 2021. After the world paused for COVID, the mission came back stronger — and 2023 was a milestone year, with 350 children supported with the school supplies they needed to keep learning.

No fanfare, no spotlight — just the steady, year-after-year commitment that has since grown to reach more than 7,000 children. This is where that momentum was built.

Every big movement starts with showing up, again and again.
